I ran a 15mm rear spacer for a while in the rear with an ending offset of et20, and they "just" rubbed some over dips in the road. Same size 265/30 only in a 19".

i dnt wanna have to use spacers. i want a look as close to flush using jus the wheel offsets.

You'll have to get a lower offset wheel like mka said.

Flush on our cars is ET30 front and ET25 rear, that's how I ordered my custom wheels.

That is a safe offset for the W209. On the front, don't get crazy with a overly wide profile. 225 would be my choice. a 235 will run very close to strut.

Might be OK for the rear. The bolts might be too long and hit the parking brake.

Hey, who's the tire-black sponsor that used to show up every time I logged in? Wax once, black for weeks??
Edit: I belive it's Black Magic Gel (searching vendors really doesn't work; if I were a vendor I'd be pi$$ed). I picked some up cheap at Walmart and applied it (it paints on with a sponge); it's supposed to last a long time so I'll let you know.

Hey, anyone know the correct size/type lugs for 2007 E350 w/ OEM wheels, and maybe a source for chrome ones?

Welcoming myself to the world of W209 :P

2004 CLK 500 Convertible

My settings:
- H&R Springs (1.3' drop in front, 1.1' drop in rear)
- Vertini Magic 19x8 in front, 19x9.5 in rear
- Offsets 35 all-round
- Hankook Ventus V12 Evo (235/35/19 in front, 265/30/19 in rear)

Few things:
- I don't know why driver's side isn't as flush as the passenger side
- I don't know why too, that the front isn't as dropped as the rear
- Weird thing: The ride is MUCH better with these setup compared to original (AMG 17" with Continental), as well as better mpg. Now 18 mpg combined, it used to be 15 mpg combined

So that's what those wheels would've looked like if I kept them...

Nice setup

i have a 2003 clk500 that i am installing Ksport Coilovers on, i just picked up some Carlsson 1/16's 18x8.5f 18x10r and am thinking of getting 225/40r18 & 255/35r18 tires for them, are those a good size? and what if any spacer would i need for them? and where to buy.

i read through many pages and did not find the exact setup, any help would be appreciated. thanks
