20inch wheels on a W210 E55, Been done?
Has anyone tried 20inch wheels on a w210 E55? I am looking at going with this size but wonder what the drawbacks would be other than a downgrade in ride quality.

Try 19's...
Just did 19's and H&R springs. BIG difference in handling.

Looks nice - that is still one of the best looking AMG rims on the market.

Much bettter. The things feels like it's on rails now. Slightly harsher ride over bumps but the cornering and steering response are vastly improved. Have to watch those parking curbs and driveway entrances though, especially with a full load of passengers.

i have some lowenhart BS5's 20x9's. I didnt lower or roll my fenders . There is sligth rubbing of the inside of my wheels when i go around corners to fast (Rim touching controll arm.) You learn how to drive it so that it doesnt rub. My tire sizes are 225/35/20. I was told this was the only tire that would fit for me. I like the tire in its design and i also do Not regret on bit getting these wheels. Size, style, brand, or finish...nothing!

Hmm
The first pic of the light colored W211 appears to have 19" in the front and 20" in the back. Maybe its playin a trick on the eyes. Just speculation.
