CLS 55 AMG Rims
Hey everyone..I have a 2001 CLK 430 stock..will the CLS 55 AMG 19in rims fit my car? Im planning on putting h&r's on it with bilstein sport shocks..will I have negative camber issues on the rear? Thanks for the help in advance..
P.S. I originally wanted a CLS 55 but according to ASC(arlington) they dont have the free-maintenance anymore..
but i saw a 2004 E500 Sport Black (8,000mi)---VERY VERY TEMPTING..lol

1) dont get Bilstein unless you have a VERY good reason, Konis are better in every aspect.
2) i doubt the 19" AMG wheels will fit because of the offset, but you need to ask Luke from Tire Rack (in the tires and wheels forum) to make sure.
3) You will have some negative camber all around because you are changing the geometry of your suspension (2 degrees is avg. for this kind of drop). However, as long as this negative camber isnt too extreme, it will help sharpen up your handling a bit, but may affect your tire tread wear.
