Brabus can sell you some 20" alloys that fit........................ if you are minted!
I wouldn't go above 19" on a non AMG model.
Make sure you get the correct spec wheel if you buy aftermarket.

 
Have a look on 'wheelbase ' website.
 
Keep hold of your old wheels and tyres - you will be putting them back on after you have got p***ed off repairing cracked wheels and buying new tyres. Unless you never see a pothole in which case you'll be fine.
 
wish to upgrade alloys to bigger

Welcome Darby1964.

Two thoughts - if you fit non-OEM wheels you must first inform your insurers.

Why do you wish to fit bigger wheels? Smaller sidewalls mean a worse ride over the UKs rutted roads, speed humps & the like, and an increased risk of expensive damage to wheels.

I run 18's in winter , 19's in summer .

My 19's are OEM and really heavy . The 18's are a Calibre alloy and weigh alot less . I've been running like this for 3 years . Comfort in the 18's with a 40 sidewall compared to the 19's profile of 35 , is marginal to say the least . I've not had an alloy crack yet ,I do try to avoid them as much as possible .

Do look on the many internet sites though , I buy from wheelbase , wheel,tyre,tpms, packages ,they also offer interest free options .

And, "rumour has it" that you will refit the smaller wheels when you realise how badly the bigger ones "crab" when you're turning.

A design issue which annoys many.
 
I’ve run 18s over the winter and 19s for the rest of the year on my C250 for about 4 years, ride on 19s was slightly stiffer but not unduly so, never had a cracked alloy.
Just sold the car and sold my unmarked set of 19” alloys, see “for sale” on here. I definitely wouldn’t go 20s .

2019 C250 4matic ? That must have been a really late sale for MB. Mine was March 2018 just before the 2018 facelift, and the dropping of the 250d engine and 4matic on the C class, how long have you had it ?
