Widest tire fitment on CL 500 (W215)
Looking to upgrade my tires with wider ones. Currently have 20" Wheels 8.5 Front/10 back
Falken 245, 35z r20D 95W (Front) & 275, 30z r20 97Y (back)
Does anyone know the widest tire set up the car can handle without rubbing (car is not currently lowered)

What is your size offset of the front wheels?
Your new tires are taller than the factory tires. That's problem number one. Your second problem is that on a 8.5" wide wheel, the 255 is going to be too bulgy. Then you add in the offsets (which I don't know) and you have rubbing issues.
