19/20 inch wheel setup
Hello , since my other thread in the SL r230 non amg section got no traction at all , I am gonna ask my question here.
Is it possible to run 19/20 inch front/rear setups with 255/35 and 285/30 tires on our cars without ABS errors ? the difference in speedo reading would be minus 3.7%. The car will be lowered according to the needs to get a proper "stanced" look.
I am opting to run this setup so I can keep the sidewall profile of 35 front and 30 rears.
Thank you all for your time.

no but the car had lowering links and it was as low as I could have it. The rear tire rubbed the tip of the bumper a little. and the front you have to cut off a little of the bolt on the suspension that is near the tire.

That is weird I have 19s in the front atm also lowered with 255/35 and I dont rub at all on the bolt also new wheels will be with more aggressive offset than my current one so clearance of the bolt should be better.
