255-35/20 will this rub on S430?
I have a chance to buy a Chrome 20" wheels with almost new tires and wanted to see if this size will fit without rubbing for 2003 S430?
Thanks.

running them on the front lowered 2" or more currently, no problems. But then again be sure to check on the offset

If you have the wrong offset it will rub, i've been told that 255 on the front is too wide

That is actual the size recommended , 245 or 255/35/20 Front and 275/30/20 Rear . And no it will nor rub unless you get wheels with wrong off set . S CL are between 42MM-44MM F&R

Whoever told you that has no idea what he is talking about . as long you stay with the correct Off set (44MM F&R) the 255/35/20 will not rub . Course if you run a low 30'sMM it will rub
