20's on 202

[duggy 911]

can anyone help, i'm days away from purchasing new wheels. I have choice of 19's or 20's. the 20's are my first choice I like the way they look the best, but tell me;

can 20 x 9.5 work on the rear, and what tire size will i need for this application?
the car is lowered will i need to raise it back to original ride height for these wheels to work? is there anything i should know regarding offset or anything before purchasing..duggy

Wow, 20s are some big wheels. I've seen some members with 20s, but I think they would be too much of a PITA to me to get them just right. Also, its like your riding on rubber bands instead of tires i bet. Dont run over any pot holes!!:D

We made a C230 K station with 19'' wheels and we hasd to roll the fender. First we installed 265 tyres but after some fender problems we changed them to 255 which where perfect. Best tyres for such big rims with a drop of the car are dunlop. We made the best experiences with 'em!

I'm trying to find some pics

I had 20's on my C before. With the right offsets, tires, and fender rolling, you can pull it off.
