20's

Is anyone running 20's on their SL55?

If so was wondering what you have front and rear offset/staggered

Also if you are using spacers

Thanks in advance

Thank you sir

Anything needed to be done with the ride height or can I just switch out the stock 18's with those number?

The set I'm looking at has 9, 10 or 11 no half size

Would you recommend 10 or 11 on the rear

i never used 11, I dont know what et would have to change, if i said to go to 25et, I could be telling you wrong. If you go to 25 and it doesnt work you could add 5mm spacer to go back to 30. I would check with people that have 11 and get the answer. check with some more wheel makers and maybe they will answer. All these sizes were on lowered car. so you could put on some lowering links and be ok
on 11 a 305 works, on a 10 a 295 would be better
