For the r230 we normally specify 20x9 / 20x11 (305/25-20) rear tire. FYI there are no fender modifications necessary for this fitment.

If you have any questions, please advise.

255 front and 305 rear. unless u want narrower tires ( i dont see the point in doing that though) my uncle has a sl500 (230) w/ 20in lowenharts. running 255 and 305 and the car is lowered, a lot. no problems. go with the widest wheel possible in the rear b/c that way u can have the biggest lip possible. the front, i would run 9in cause they are lighter and there is no advantages if u go w/ a 9.5.
if u get the right offset (u will, hre's are custom made) it will fill the fender.
hope that helps.


quoted from an earlier post by me

i'd get hre's

I'm running 255/30/20's on the front and 305/25/20's on the back. Gives the car a real aggressive look, and even lowered, I have no fitment issues.
