Wheel Dimension Help
Hey everybody,
I have on 02 CL 600 with 18 AMGs staggered (245/45/18 Front, 275/40/18 Rear). I'm looking to upgrade to 20 inches, which will definitely alter the performance, handling, etc of the vehicle. But, I'm doing it more so for cosmetic reasons. Anyway, I had a few questions in regards to the wheel dimensions. The wheels that I'm looking at have an offset and rim width of
20x8.5 for the front and 20x9.5 rear. My question is would I need spacers and/or the wheels too wide to cause any rubbing? Also, I'm thinking of increasing the tire size as well (255, 285 front and rear, respectively). Any help would be appreciated and here's the a picture of the wheel if it's useful:

you didn't mention the ET of your current rims. are these rims OE for your car?
you also didn't specify all the tire specs so difficult to give you an answer. but
here is where you should do your homework....which would narrow things down:
wheel sizing chart
Wheel Offset Calculator
Tire size calculator
