W209 - W163
Luke, 20's on a W209 CLK...?
Can this work? I see picture of W209 CLK's on 20" wheels and they are dropped, so my question is could this work without rolling the fenders, and what drop would I use?
20's without a drop on stock suspension
20's with a drop
I could be wrong, but the owner says they are 20's, but they look small, anyway, Luke is this possible? Thanks brotha!

depends on the weather
they do look like 20's to me ..... the reason you mey not think they do is because any wheel with a lip looks slightly smaller than it really is because the design shortens the spoke length ..... but in reality the w209 uses a 25" tall tire and the 20" tires that are 25" is diameter are short on load capacity and ride really stiffly

I had 20" on my w208 don't know if that helps and it was lowered on H&R springs. It didn't rub at all..I'm not sure how much difference in the wheel base from the w208 and the 209..search my threads I have some photos up.
