I think 20's with a lower offset gets you a "full wheel well" look and no decrease in ride comfort...
20's & Spacers 20mm R/15mm F
Mike, looks great!
Did you start with ET43 rims before the spacers? If so then the spacers brought your offsets to about 23 / 28?
Did adding the spacers create any fender rubbing or cornering issues?

Why is it you mean one have to do adjustments to the toe & camber angles ? No wheel cahnge would normally call for that .. eehh. ?

That's the price you pay with the 18's. You get the best ride and peace of mind that you won't bend or blow the wheel out every time you hot a pothole. I had to go from 18's to 17's on my E-350 because I kept tearing up the stock 18's. It's a stupid problem to have. I really want to do 20's on my S class too. However, I may settle on 19's. The Mazda I just leased has 20's. The ride is pretty good. More road noise from the tires then I like. So far no wheel issues yet and the car goes into Manhattan pretty much every day.
