Rim compatability on a CL55
I want to put staggered lowenhart LSR rims on my 2001 CL55. these rims have a 5x112 bolt pattern and are 21x10rear and 20x9front. Does anyone know if these rims are compatible?? Im concerned about brake clearance as well.

2001 CL55
the tires are michelin pilot sports. 295/30 rear and 255/35 front. In the past i have had problems with the front lowering but got it fixed and nothing since. If the problems do begin again will i be asking for trouble with those rims on?

It also depends on your offset. Did you buy the rims off another cl55?
I have 285s in the rear of my cl500 and I can't get anything wider in there. But I know that the cl65 has a wider wheel tub, so you can fit wider tires, maybe the cl55 has that too.

The CL55 (at least my year) can definitely go with up to a 305 while lowered, cause I've got it now. Every so often it rubs but it has not been a big deal and I have done this for 2+ years now. I think the choices should fit, but I would avoid the 21 inch if possible, unless you don't plan on driving it much, or you like to fix dented wheels.
