depends on how wide your wheels are...

but, if it really doesn't fit, just get 5mm spacers and you'll be fine

Is there anything negative about putting spacers on? Where can I buy them?

there really is nothing wrong with using spacers... it requires longer bolts, and thats about it...

the only thing people don't quite recommend spacers is because there is a piece of metal that is 'loose' between the wheel & hub... at least thats what i was told..

but as long as the spacer is made by a reputable company, then you should be fine....

So could you use a 15mm spacer on a 20mm wheel to fit a clk.
the wheel is 18.8.5 112x5.

no... that is the opposite of what you need... if the wheel is 20mm, adding in a 15mm spacer would make the wheel = a +5mm offset...

What you would need is to find a wheel that is like +44 offset... and then if you add a 10mm spacer, your final offset would be +34

Would a 35 mm offset front and a 40mm offset rear work on a 2002 CLK 430 - 19 Axis Milanos?
