Widebody kit for CL65 w215

Anyone make or have an idea for removable rear fender flare for a cl65?

I have a nice set of 305s on 11inch rims (yes they fit) but they stick out a little bit and want to add some sort of panel to cover the tire.

I think they make these for sl's right? maybe this is a dumb idea. I am looking for more traction from 0-100 and think this might be an idea.

According to my fitment calculations, your 11" wheel sticks out past the fender around 6mm right? It would be better if you go down to a 10.5" wheel than try to modify/widen the rear fender.

Then you have SL spec/offset wheels. Get different wheels.

Wow that's alot, why not get wheels that fit better ? You should be able to fit 10,5 or 11 still. Or look up a member here FatMike and see what he did to his CL

This is frustrating. I really want a CL65 but I want to keep my 305s. There is no way to get them to fit without wide body? For reference, they had to rub their way in to fitting in my CL55, which granted has a little more room for them then the 65.

I am not sure. I can take my rear tire off and measure everything for you. I think it all comes down to offest and the space with the rear shocks.

I still dont understand it...

305's will fit on a CL65. Its all in the offset of the wheels. The fenders are the same. Its just the hub lengths are different requiring to run different offsets than the CL500,600 and 55.

I always thought that CL65 had more room not less, the wheels have a higher number offset, so that should mean moor room toward the shocks right ?

You're also forgetting that the CL55 only had a 9" rear wheel where as the CL65 has a 9.5" rear wheel.
