New Wheels and tires for my 04 CL55 AMG - Luke Pls

Luke.

I have stock rim and tires on my 04 CL55 AMG.

I am happy with the width of the front tires, but would like to go wider on the back and move to a 19 or 20 inch rim front & rear (mesh or thin spoke style in chrome)

I would like an aggressive looking tire but not a low profile tire since there are always potholes and I have had to purchase replacement rims from you guys in the past when bending rims on other Benz's I have owned.

I have not nor will I lower the car.

1st Question - How wide of a wheel and tire can I put on the back - without any rubbing!!!

2nd Question - What is an aggressive looking tire with good ride & wear quality. I do not go to tracks or carve up turns. I do most highway driving and am an admitted poser in this car - I just want it to look 'b i t c h i n'

I have other very fast toys for real thrashing.

depends on the weather
the widest most aggressive setup I have ever seen on a CL is a 295/30-20 with a 20 x 10.5" wheel
