Thanks for your opinion but feel that's a little sheepish unless you have driven the same vehicle with 20" wheels fitted ???
I have noticed Merc owners tend to say what they have read rather than give expert knowledge
Handing.....its not a sport car
Ride........Never owned a more comfortable car

Mercedes spend 1 million pounds a day on R and D. What makes you think you tampering with wheel sizes would do anything other than cause problems. The wheel bearings, steering feel handling and ride will suffer and deviate from the original design brief. And it will look wrong, so no, leave it as it is.....

19" work fine, but I would be scared to go 20" due to the quality of the roads and the wheels looking too big for the car
