Can the clk55 AMG staggered wheels fit?
On the C32? I saw a post with a C32 that had them on, 9.5" on the rear. Im guessing the fronts were 7.5? I want something wider than the 8.5" I have now.
Does anyone sell these in the states? How much?

OK, Thank you. Did you see the C32 I was talking about? I saw your name inthe post a few times. He claimed they were no problems so I had hope.

In Germany, the CLK55 comes standard with the Style IV 18" one-piece wheel, 18x7.5/18x8.5.
Either one of the above CAN be fitted on a C32. No rubbing.
But I saw you mentioned 9.5, I thought you're talking about the Style IV 18" multi-piece because the Style IV multi-piece comes in 18x8.5/18x9.5. And the 18x9.5 CANNOT be fitted on a C32 because of offset issue.
There are owners that have put Style IV 18" one-piece (18x7.5/18x8.5) on their C32, e.g. "Pierre///32"
There are owners that have put Style IV 18" multi-piece (18x8.5 alla round) on their C32 also, e.g. "trips".
I hope I have cleared things up a bit.

Here are the ones I was talking about:

So they are just the 7.5 front and 8.5 out back? I wanted to go with something wider in the rear but I guess that is out of the question unless I went custom. I like the AMG wheels though.
Can you email me at s4iscool@hotmail.com the price on the 7.5/8.5 18" wheels?

Question?
Hey Pierre32, do your front rims stick out like the stock C32 rims, or are they fluch like the E55 rims? And how about the rear rims, are those set in "deep dish" style? And hows the ride, much stiffer?
I'm about to order them but now I'm torn between the ones you have, the AMG style IV multi piece (18x8.5 all around) and the ASA rims I've just seen (ST4 multipiece 18x8/ 18x9).
And for tires I'm torn between the Goodyear GS-D3 and the Toyo T1-S. Any ideas?
Any feedback from anyone would be appreciated!

The Stlye 4 are like the stock C32 wheels. Not much dish on the rear.
As for tires, I have used the T1-s before, and while they are a good tire, I would not consider them the best in dry conditions. They also get noisey with miles. They are very good in the rain, have good tread wear, and are VERY LIGHT when compared to wheels like the S03 which weight around 6-8lbs more per corner! Oh the T1's is also on the narrow side of tires. Compare a S03 225/40/18 to a 225/40/18 T1s...BIG difference.

Wow, thsoe look great, Kind of like the Movens? These look like they got proper offsets and sizes. You would definetly have a wider rear end due to the 9" wide back. Price looks good too.
Do they need any spacers?
