Peter i have a question for you

I was looking at the tire specs for the W211 E500. The standard car comes with 17" wheels and a 245/45R17 with an overall tire diameter of 25.7 inches. I was wondering what is the max + i can go from there? I know that BRABUS makes a 20x9" Monoblock 6 rim for the R230, and they recommend a tire size of 245/35R20 for it. That tire's overall diameter is 26.7, is that too big for the front of an E500, and maybe a 20x9.5 rim with a 285/30R20 for the rear? 20's would look so killer in the w211

Even though I've never seen the car, I would say it would be OK.
