Recommended max wheel/tire width/profile on an S550
I'm going to be putting on some nice rims on my S550 in about six weeks. I know I want 20" rims (22" is too extreme) but I want to know two things:
1) What is the best wheel width to put on the front/rear of the car? I believe a wider tire gives it a more masculine stance, but I don't want rubbing, nor do I want to have to modify the sheet metal of the car.
2) If I were to put a 35 profile tire, how would it affect the ride of the car? 30s? I like a sporty ride, but I don't want to affect the stock ride more than negligently.
Thanks for your advice!
