Used to drive E55
IMO I think it looks nasty! I think the E55 is perfect with 18's. Maybe 19's. Out of them all I like the one on the far right first set of pictures.

2002 e55 w211 ....
I HAVE TO AGREE!!!!i never thought i would mind you had 20" wheels on my e39 m5... and agree BIG RIMS ARE COOL!!!!!!!!
BUT on a E55 w210 they just look stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
car sits way too high...... looks like a bag of ****!!!!!
18" AMG mono's look great 19" is really the best size to go for ... in my mind!!!!

My only concern is rubbing , if its a simple fender roll i have no problems with that. Do you think if i just leave it on stock springs and swap out the pads to #1 all around it will give me the drop im looking for? or maybe go with H&Rs with #3 or even #4 pads? Any input is greatly appreciated!

20" is a bit too much in my opinion for E55 you will loose some performance plus ride quality, if you change pads to #1 with stock spirngs/shokc it will look like SUV... it is possible to do it with righ trims and tire set up but to make it look good you will need drop... good luck and ejnoy your car

I heard Eibach sport spring give you a 1.5" drop right off the bat.
