Thanks for help with wheels
I've received quite a bit of information and help about wheels for my new (to me) CLS55. I finally got a set and wanted to share with you the results of my research. I was really concerned about 11" wheels fitting under the car, but it seems to be OK without any apparant rubbing. I think the rear tires are a bit narrrow for the rims, though, at 295/25/20. Seems they should be 305/25/20 to come over the lip of the rim a little bit and protect the rim from road hazards, but perhaps that would make it too wide to fit?
Thanks again to all.

305-25-20 with 11" rims
This is the size ok'd to me by one of the sponsors. I have the Star Diagnostics drop on the car as well.

Got them from a local chap who was selling the car they were on. Only a few thousand miles of wear on them. Was able to purchase for a bit less than the $3100 I was looking at for a set of AMG 030 19" wheels. I still have a soft spot in my heart for those AMG split spoke wheels, though.
