C219 CLS-Class... 245/30R20 & 285/25R20 will work. If the wheels are running wide, say 9's and 11's, then you can run 255/30R20 & 295/25R20 Michelin PS2. Probably a good idea to get the fenders rolled too to avoid rubbing issues.

:p

ive seen cls's with a 305/25/20

for lowering you should call f1 motorsport in n.hollywood
they've done many mercedes's w/ airmatic sus.

They had a CLS with a Brabus package when I stopped in there last week to visit those guys. It was running the 305/25 in the rear but you could tell from the sidewall that it had rubbed and the car needed fender rolling and if you look at the back side of the rear wheel well there is a section that was cut out for clearance for the wide 305's. Car looked nice though. It's just not a bolt up and drive application.

how would I know if the 305 on the rear is rubbing?

Ken Uyeda · 10-29-2005, 02:29 PM

you'll hear a rubbing noise usually when going up driveways and also if you look at the sidewall of the tire you should be able to see an area on the tire where the tire is rubbing if it is rubbing at all.

no rubbing, I am good...

20x11 GREAT STUFF! Is your car lowered? what offset are they?

Ive been searching everywhere for a discussion on 219 offsets that work.. id love to put 20x11 but i dont want to order rims from OS only to find they dont fit.. Can anyone advise 20x9-9.5 offset for the front and 20x10-11 for the rear?
