I am looking into getting a nice set of sporty, yet practical 20 inch rims.

The bolt pattern is a 5 bolt. (not sure of the corresponding sizing though)

What offset should I be looking for?

And from what i've heard, under 10 inch width is ideal for not being outside the fenders.

And finally, are there any tires you experienced ML'ers would recommend checking out, assuming they are economically priced.

I appreciate the help, I am rather inexperienced in terms of rims/tires.

Try not to go over 20" rims...ride quality is crap.

im selling a pair 19" x9.5 Brabus III chrome rims w/ perreilli tires. 1 rim needs to be rechromed, the other 3 are in good shape. email me if you have any questions.

I am also (still) looking to 'upsize' my OEM wheels - 2004 Inspiration 17" x 8.5"
I would prefer to stick with the 8.5" width (275 tires look good), but wonder if anyone knows the MAXIMUM tire DIAMETER for this vehicle to maintain (vertical) clearance? Then I can back down towards a 'comfortable' combination of wheel diameter (metal) and sidewall/profile (rubber).
Thanks for any help.

Some have gone as big as 24" wheels with super thin tires, probably not the way I'd go myself. Personally, I run 22x10.5" wheels with 295/30/22 tires. However, I have the fender flares to cover the wider package. The ride is a little rough and I have to be a little careful around potholes.

If it was my decision to make, I'd probably go with a 20x10 wheel on a narrow bodied W163.

Thanks, porschenut - I don't think that set-up would take the Jersey potholes for long!!
I'm going to try for a max. 45% profile.
