20" rim on 03 SL55AMG???
I have an 03 SL55 AMG and am looking to fit 20x9.5 in the fronts, and 20x11 in the back. Lorinser has this set up as well as others, but will they fit without any mods? Tire sizes are 255x30 front, and 285 in the back.

You should be fine. I have 20s on my SL6, so I don't think theres much of a difference if you put 20s on a 55, heck even a SL500 for that matter. Post pics of your rims when you get them!

SSpray posted this picture a few weeks ago. They are supposed to be 20" Lowenharts. I really like the look!

You should be fine with 20's on a SL55, just be careful with the tires and wheels you choose.

Is anyone sure that I won't need spacers to accomodate the width of 20x11 in the back?

NO SPACERS for the right offset. Mostly likely you will be safer going with CUSTOMIZED wheels.
