New wheels/rims for sl55amg

Hi, Im considering buying new rims for my MB SL55 AMG 03. The rims Im looking at are from the brand Vossen. They are 9x20 with 255 tires in front and 10.5x20 with 305 tires in rear. Do any of you drive with those measurements on your cars without lowering, and if so how does this works?

I think they look good, but how will the effect be while driving with this combination? Wont the tires and rims be a little bit too big?

You can also use a 285/30/20 on rears. Ride won't be affected, these specs keep you within factory rolling diameters.

Looks awesome....! I have a white SL55 and want to change my rims too. Been eyeing out Vossens but they have limited stock here in Hong Kong.
