Anybody tried this 20" tire size on their w220?

I was wondering if anybody tried 285/25/20 on the rears and how it fit!

I have the tires just waiting for the wheels just hoping it wouldn't be too much trouble to get them fitted!

Verdesteins Ultrac Sessentas 255/30/20 fronts and 285/25/20

Thanks guys!

i dont know about fitment but i say you should get higher profile tire, like a 30 rear, 35 front.

i have 25 profile (295/25/22) and i would like more protection but cant fit 30

I wouldn't go bigger than 19 inch wheels on the W220. Best way to achieve both looks and ride in my opinion.

my car is slammed, I had the 19's on my car and they look way too small. Lets just say the Wald Kit didn't help with making the wheels look bigger...

Either way, I guess we'll see what happens with the fittment. Worst comes to worst I can get new tires!

ive fit 285/35/20 on the rear on 10.5 width rim. i did get rubbing on bumps, but i think it was more due to the offset as opposed to tire.
