the front structure difference is in the front crossmember. for w209 some suspension part is beefier than the 203 up front for the 500 and 55, but they are basically the same.

Interesting.
Looking at the tirerack site it shows for a 17" AMG 170 wheel for the CLK: F = 37mm, R = 30mm whereas for the W203 it shows F = ? and R = 34mm.
On the MBUSA site it shows same offset for front but different for rear for the staggered wheels when comparing C350 vs CLK350.
Thanx Frank
