19x9 on a CLK?

Would 19x9 rims fit a CLK? They were previously on an E320

They should be fine for the rears, but how about the fronts? Can anyone help?

Plus, what tires should I use? 235/35 all around?

If the car has not been lowered you should be able to use 255/265 for the rear and 235 up front. Although 235 is a narrow tire for a 9" wide rim. I'm no guru, just trying to help.... You should go over to the wheel & tire forum to see if they know.

LorinserCLK has 19x9 LM1s for his fronts. His is lowered with H&Rs, I believe and is wrapped in 235/35. I've seen a W203 with the same rims, 19x9 LM1's in front with H&R cup kit, and no rubbing problems....it did however had one problem...

It looked SICK

It varies from wheel to wheel, and in some cases CLK to CLK. What is the offset, and what size tire do you plan on using? Remember, tires can rub on the inside as well. You should be able to get it to work, but the question is how much work, if any, is required.

the rims would be 19x9 all around, the tires would be 235/35 and the offset is 38.

what is your take on this?

The offset is a bit too high IMO...may touch the inner suspension
