Porsche guy who drives SL63 w/ perf pkg AND perf suspension

no advantages. All sl always use 19 on front.
go to 20 rear like the r231 cars use if you must

I wanted to do the same on my 09 Sl63 but found that most people that have the 20s all the way around bending the wheels especially in the front due to road conditions and the fact that there is so little tire to protect the wheel in front of the car. In the past I installed HRE wheels on a mercedes and reqretted it for I bent the wheels more times than I care to remember. I'm sure whether the wheels are forged or not will mean something but ultimately there's just not enough of tire up front to escape from the fact that you will bend the wheels

For the front we'd recommend a 245/30/20. For the rears you can do 295/25/20 or 305/25/20. The HRE P101's seen below can be made in either 19" or 20" sizing for you:
