iforged 20" wheels on sl500

Hi,
everyone , I'm new here. I'd like to put a 20" Iforged Trial wheel on a 2005 sl500. The rear tires are 20x11 and fronts are 20x9. Will this fit on the car without scratching the fenders? I will also be lowering the car.

yes it will fit w/o any trouble.

you're gonna run 255x30x20 in the front and 305x25x20 in the rear.

who are you buying them from?

where are you located? If you were close to LA are maybe you want to drop by iForged office and order directly after seeing which one you like. I'm 95% sure they dont have anything in stock as all their rims are custom build to each order like most forged wheels factory out there.

I can recommend someone over in HRE, or for question you can ask my friend at his wheel shop. Also DCR wheels directly if you need to.

do you mind used rims? I have three sets of forged wheels, they are HRE 549 20x9 and 20x10.5. HRE 547R 20x9, 20x10, and DPE R05 Variant V 20x9, 20x11 rear. Two of them were from my SL, the HRE 547R were from CL600 but will fit as well.

Pm-ed.

also a 544R 20x9.5 20x11 full polished, I won't be 100% since a guys already left deposit. By the way all have tires, atleast 80% each and they are Pirelli P-Zero Rosso, Michelin PS2, ContiSport2, and one more set with S-03

ISEP,

why not buy HRE instead of iForged? I have a nice set that came off my 03' SL500. They are HRE 544 High Polish 20x11 & 20x9.5. They are in excellent shape with 98% new front tires. I have a link here that I can send you. I can also send you pics directly. They look awesome on that car. Let me know.

Thanks,

JOhn

On a 3 piece wheel running 9's in the front and 11's in the rear on a 25 series tire, are you at a huge risk of bending your rims?

I just got that setup with 20x9 255/50/20 and 20x11 305/25/20. I love the look of it but I gotta admit I drive with caution over bumps and dips. One mistake will result in a bent rim and blown tire.
