Rims Fitment Question
Hi,
I have a 2003 CLK 430 which has passed on the the great Autobahn in the sky
I was wondering if the rims would be a good fit for my 2002 C240?
Thanks in advance for you help.

ok so we get these sorts of questions a lot!
Can I teach you how to answer the question yourself?
1: find out what wheels are on your model! Look in the owners manual. read the size on the inside of the wheel Diameter, width, offset.
2: Find out what wheels are on the CLK...
Manuals can be found online. by googling "mercedes benz owners manuals" There is a MB USA site !
Then you can use various online tire sites to
1: compare one wheel/tire combination to another wheel/tire combination. in terms of overall diameter. They should be within a couple percent so your speedometer and odometer are still acurate.

2: the same sites will give you offset calculators

The offset will determine if the tire will rub on the inside, perhaps against a suspension part or the shock strut, or on the outside on the fender...
let me know what you come up with and happy to help out.

Make sure the lug nuts are not too long, if they are they will tear up the parking brake in the rear rotor. Also is your are a 4matic? Staggered set ups on the 4matic was not offered on the W203 4matics
