19" or 20" rims for 2003 E500
I'm shopping for new rims. I'm looking at the HRE 540R's, 840R's and 543R's. I'm also looking at the Maya STM's.
Which of the above rims would you gus put on your car? 19" or 20"?
Do you know the proper offset to buy?
What tire setup would you go for? 245/35,285/30 or 245/30,285/25?
What's the word on the need to shave off part of the front control arm bolt to fit 20's on an Airmatic setup?
What do you guys think of ADR and Moven rims? I saw that these companies make knock-offs of the HRE rims.
Thanks for your help

I'd go wit 19s. 245/35 for front and 275(285)30 for rears. If you get 10" rears, need a 28 offset for wide, 30 for lesss wide (I think). Tire sizes will change if you go 20.
