Love those wheels and yes, the front would look sick if it sat just like the rear.

Few Pics of E55 AMG on 20's
Hey guys, after 3 months I finally got the 20" iForged Essen on my car. Triple black. I think that I still need to lower the front a small amount, so anyone in chicagoland with star please let me know if you can help. Sorry for the crappy iphone pics. Better ones to come after I detail her...enjoy.

If the fronts are 245/35, then you've got the wrong size. You should be running a 245/30 with a 285/25. Your front tire is 1.2" taller than your rear tire.
Wheels look good, though.

actually i was wrong on the tire size...what happened was I was going to go with 255/30 and 295/25...well the rears didnt fit and I just replaced the rear with 285/25 and left the fronts at 255/30 for the rest of the summer.

I believe the front offset is +32. the rear i know is +35. Wheels are 20x8.5, 20x10

I'm also a tad jealous of your flint grey. That was my first color choice.
