Question Lorinser Wheels fitment question

Hello all...

I am selling my 19" Lorinser LM-1 wheels to a gentleman who currently owns a 2002 CLK320. I had these previously on a 300se (W140 body style), and figured that this would be the best place to ask if they would actually fit this vehicle. The specs are as follows:

A set of 19" ORIGINAL Lorinser LM-1 Wheels w/ Dunlop SP Sport Tires
Front: 19x9 on 245-45-19
Rear: 19x9 on 275-40-19
Offset: ET44 on ALL wheels.

Now I understand that with the front and those size tires, there maybe some rubbing, but what I'm really concerned about is the offset. Does anyone know if that would fit this vehicle? I mean, the tires can be changed so that's not that big of an issue, however the offset is what will make the difference. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, as I do not want to sell these to this individual if they do not fit his car.

Thanks!

Lorinser produces a base wheels with high offset and centre bore. In addition they offers spacer modules with fitment for different Mercedes models. Ask Lorinser for the CLK fitment kit for LM-1.

for example: LM-5, LM-6, RS-5 and RS-8 wheels all have offset ET38 and centre bore 82mm. Lorinser offers two fitment kits for the CLK for these wheels:

1. 7mm spacer modules that reduces centre bore from 82mm to 66,5mm for 225/35 front and 255/30 rear (ET31).

2. 12mm spacer modules that reduces centre bore from 82mm to 66,5mm for 235/35 front and 265/30 rear (ET26).

Thanks for the info!

Would you or anyone else for that matter have some contact information on a Lornsiner distributor in North America that I would be able to contact regarding this?

Or is it possible to have a company fabricate spacer modules that would fit the car?

Once again though, the size of the tires that I currently have on the rims... would that cause in problems for direct fitment in terms of rubbing?
