20" wheel help...

Im about to purchase a set of wheels for my E55. the wheels are 20x10.5 rear with a 305/25/20, and fronts are 20x9 with a 255/30/20. they are supposedly off an 07 E63. My question is, am i going to have rubbing problems with the 305 rear tire?? the owner told me no, but he could be just trying to sell the wheels.. Please help so i dont waste money.. Im trying to get the offsets..

Regards
Walter

in all my research, there's no way you'll fit 305's on an e55. with the proper offset, it's possible to squeeze 295's but that's the largest i've ever heard of anyone getting away with.

the cls can do it but not the e55. in fact, i doubt they'd fit on the e63 either...and it wouldn't surprise me if that's why that e63 owner is selling them.

My own research I was told to run 20X8.5F and 20X10R with 245-30's and 285-25's which worked out perfect. He might be selling them because they are rubbing

My free plug I'm selling my IForged Swifts wheels and tires with only 300 miles on them, no damage of any kind. I'm not looking to ship them. Located in MD/DC/VA area $4000 Firm I'm selling my E55.
