20'' for 1994 S500 - Help Luke

Luke,

I have a question. I liked these tims on your website which are 20'' but everytime I ask somebody they tell me that with 20'' rims, I will lose all the smoothness in the car. Ride will be rough. I would not want the ride to be too rough.
what size would you recommend, which will not affect the drive much?
this is what I liked on your site

Thanks

depends on the weather
using 20's on your car will reduce the sidewall height to 3.5" so, it will be firmer but, far from kidney bashing harsh ....


think about this
E55 25.7" diameter tires with 18" wheels which leaves 3.85" of sidewall from the factory and Audi RS6 usinf a 26" tall tire with a 19" wheel has 3.5" of sidewall height
