What size tyres to choose?

[p3tchy]

I have a set of 20" Cades Ixion wheels in the 9x20 and 10.5x20 to go on my CLK, I will more than likely have to spacer them to fit.

They have currently 255/35/20 and 275/35/20 tyres on. Not 100% sure these tyres will fit so what size should I be looking at?

I was thinking 255/30/20 up front and 285/25/20 on the rear.

Ideas on a postcard please.

Largest recommended sizes quoted here are

Front -19x8.5 ET=28 Tyre=235/35R19
Rear - 19x10 ET=29 Tyre=265/30R19

Yeah I know that's the largest recommended.

But 20's will fit.

I'm sure they will but the point was that tyre width doesn't change significantly (if at all) with increased wheel diameter...

I see your point now, Wasn't that clear in the first post.

Yeah there only going to be summer wheels, Potholes in MK get so big you'd loose a car in some of them.
