Will have more pics this weekend. I read a bunch of threads stating not a chance we could go wider than 295 so i did that but there was still plenty of space when i ran the hankooks. We test fit the 305 and it was close but fit with no work, and 315 even closer and it fits like a glove with a light bit of fender rolling.

20x9 +25 front
20x10.5 +45 rear (via starting with off the shelf +42 from vossen and shaving it 3mm)

more pics this weekend and will make new thread... The fit may be a bit aggresive for most but I'm really happy with the results. Anyone in the bay area who needs a source on wheels hit up california wheels in san jose, they fitted this setup for me. We've done 4 sets with them this past year and each time they have come through.

Yeah there is a ton of clearance in the inner wheel well, things get close against the body fender line and bumper. No rubbing in sport 2, ride qualty is no different than my cv3's on Hankook 295s. I havent really done any spirited cornering yet but dont expect any issues. I live in the SF bay area (roads suck!) and this is my daily driver for my 120mi round trip commute.

Sorry I actually deleted that message, because I was wrong about more aggressive, sine cutting 3mm is actually brining the rim in. But yes AGGRESSIVE on 315 is the right word. Please do update us on the ride, such as cornering and full load if you get a chance. I have kids I haul around, and it is also my daily, so full trunk with kids or adult feedback would be nice on your own time that is. Thanks

Yeah we needed to pull it in, I dont want to mislead anyone the fit is tight but it fits barely . the fronts are actually more aggressive than my old cv3 setup so they are pushed out which worked out well as I didnt like the slight sunken in look. Will give you an update on load, cornering etc.

Those look appropriately meaty. I want to do that, maybe with a set of 19"s.

no one added. By shaving of the back of the rim you raise your offset. By adding spacers you lower the offset.

Thread necromanced!

But, I just ordered a set of 20" Verde Axis V99 with 10.5" wide rear wheels in a 42 offset and I will be trying to fit a set of 305s back there.

Looking forward to your update. What are you going to run up front? Anyone try running 265's?

I was planning on 255s, but I'd run 265s if I knew they would fit.

you really have to see the tread width, all tires are not the same size

the Hankook 285s were smaller than my PSS 265s

Exactly! I had 305's fit and tried a 315. The only way it would work on a w211 is shaving the center hub on the wheel. IMO that is not a safe thing to do.

This^^^

Hankooks are really narrow for the actual width numbers. I'd say by at least 20. A 255 on the back on my c55 looked more like a 235. Definitely check the tread widths to make sure you don't get something too wide or narrow.

Ive been running those wheels since they came out. 295 25 20 fit on back perfectly with that offset. No rub and I'm lowered pretty aggressive. In fact, I'm almost sure you would be able to do 305. When my 295's wear out I'll be moving to 305's myself.
