CL600 10.5 inch rear
can an 05 cl600 take a 19x10.5 inch rear wheel without rubbing? My ride isnt lowered but im thinking about the renntech ELM. ON BBS website they have a 20x10.5 listed for CL55 not CL600, is that because the fenders are rolled from the factory?

So with that being said, I think you can put it on the 600 and actually get a bigger lip than what I have. You also should be able to drop it nicely too.

sure you can run 10.5x19. I'm running 20x11 however I can't use the 305 size tire as recommended so I went with 295/25/20. Forgot the offset, but I think around 37 on the rear. No rubbing whatever until I hit the freeway over 60mph (lowered automatically) and sometimes it rubbed when hitting freeway 'bumps' whatever they call it when u feel a little lifted from road unevenness.
Other than that, I can simply go for second level on the ABC when I want to go high speed. Again only when going 60mph, never at normal speed anywhere not even bumpy roads. My next tire change, I'm going for 285/30/20 and surely it will solve the problem
hope that helps.
oh by the way, also note some tires are more rounded towards the outer wall, just as I love them on my Michelin PS2s. Some squarish wall are the ContiSport2, and older P-zero system. But the P-zero Nero are also great. I won't consider other tires, period.

3.5 out hoop, so about 2-3/4" lip on the rear.. I really hate the W215's rear high offset. On a friend's SL he had 4" lip on the same 11", heck even W211 has lower offset but not as crazy as CLS as I've personally saw 20x12 rear.
BUT.,... here's the big But, I think to be safe or no rubbing 10.5" would be the maximum you can afford, as 11 will rub as mentioned above 60mph, and rolled fenders of course.
