So I recently had two new rear tires put on and when the shop was putting them on they showed me where the wheel was cracked.

I want to put 20s on it and my question is do I have to lower the car if I'm putting 20s on it?

You don't have to lower it, but the car really looks funny with larger wheels and stock height.

How are the roads where you are? You might want to reconsider the 20's if the roads are bad enough to crack your 18's (I'm making a couple assumptions there). 19's might be a better choice since you'll have a little extra sidewall to protect the wheel. If the roads are pretty good in your area and had nothing to do with the cracked wheel, then I say go for it!

In regards to the lowering, you will not have to lower your car but as efiftyfizzle said it might look a little off. I just mounted 19's on mine, and while it looks pretty good, I need to lower it to finish up the look.

Is this for the C230?

The roads here are pretty good. Nothing awful, the crack was probably there from a previous owner because I had tire pressure issues with that tire.

I'm gonna search the forums for how to lower it, but what's a good height for running 20s?

Nope, I bought an E55. I'm new here on this section of the forums.

Sweet. Congrats.

i would get a set of 19s and lowering links or get it lowered through Stars.

^ Agreed - Consider 19"'s.

Is there anyone in North Carolina area that can lower it with stars?
