19" fronts 20" rears - pros and cons?
Anyone running 19" fronts and 20" rears on a W211 similar to later model AMG's such as the C63S??
Still looking at wheels and there are some i like that don't offer a suitable offset for the rears in 19" but do in 20".
Wondering the pros and cons of doing so?
Cheers in advance.

I have been thinking about this as well. The car definitely "haunches" in the rear bit, due to design of the wheel arch.
I think a 20" rear would provide a more arrestee look, and have a wider contact patch (vs a 19").
20's in front is too harsh a ride for me, and too prone to road damage.
I wonder why we haven't seen it done yet?

Hey Brian,
How your E55? My guess is it didn’t work out as intended. I just purchased an Alcantara steering wheel for my X5M, already have one for the E63, but I love your carbon fiber wheel.
