Rim Size

So my 02 S500 has the stock 16 inch wheels and tires, so if I up grade to 20 inch, what size would I need?

20 x 8.5 +35 5x112

Is this the correct size for all around?

Staggered, pros and cons?

Thanks for all the help everyone.

cons of staggered is increased cost of rear tires and inability to rotate. If you are on a budget and looking for a budget set of rims and tires in the $1000-1500 range, i wouldnt go staggered. If cost isnt an issue and you are OK with $2-3k + and rear tires that are $100 more expensive, staggered has a nicer look

Are you talking about a rear spoiler of some sort? If so, I vote NO. That car looks sweet as-is. IMO a spoiler would look cheap and juvenile. You have a very classy, fast, and, exclusive ride there and should not denigrate it with cheap attempts to make is LOOK fast when it already IS fast.
