I have a standard 2020 C63s and am thinking of getting a set of 20" wheels and putting winter tyres on them for the upcoming seasons. What wheel offset would I need and....do you think I'm mad?
Cheers
 
Winter wheel options should be listed in you handbook.
I personally wouldn't go for 20" rims, not for winter tyres, or summer come to that..
 
Cheers - I had been looking at 19s until some 20s turned my head...
As a general principle, narrower and taller winter tyres work better than wider lower profile ones, so the accepted wisdom is to go for smaller diameter, and often narrower, wheels in preference to larger diameter ones.

The whole point of a winter wheel / tyre setup is to help keep you out of a ditch. Once you're in a ditch, 20-inch wheels won't look so attractive...
 
Thanks Phil - good point well made! :thumb:
 
20" wheels will turn your head, but they will also shake your teeth out.
