Advice on 20" wheels please.
Hi,
I will be buying a 2006 S65 shortly and I would like to know if 20" wheels is a possibility. What size tires can I get with the 20" rims that won't mess up my speedometer? also, will the 20" wheels be a problem with the suspension at all?
The stock size is F: 245/40-19 and R: 275/35-19. I'm thinking 255/35-20 and 285/30-20. Any advice would be appreciated. Also, how do you all think the ride would be with 20" wheels?
Thanks

I have a CL65 which has a tougher offset than your S65 and I have 20's. You will be fine with the 255x35 and 285x30 setup as that's what I have and mine is lowered too.
As for the ride, not much difference IMO but I live in Orange County, CA and the roads are very good.

I am not sure if I follow you, the S65 comes with 20" AMG 5-spoke wheels.
EDIT: Sorry, I thought you were looking at the 2007......2006 came with 19 inch rims. I realized that just as I was pushing POST
