will these fit?

i have the opportunity to buy a set of amg wheels and tires for what i think is a good price. the tires that are on them rims are pretty wide i think and im not sure if they will fit. the fronts are 225/45/17's and the rears are 245/40/17's. are they too wide? will the fronts rub at full lock? my car is a stock '01 clk 320.

the wheels look like this:http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/pts/450669027.html
but those arent the set im getting. what do you think is a good price with tires? also, will the speedo have to be recalibrated and how do i do that? thanks in advance.

Those will fit your car with no problem. I'm not sure about your speedometer though.

they will fit perfectly on your car. Don't worry about the speedometer.....the sizes you just listed are the stock sizes that come on the W208 CLK55.

if you take the overall diameter of a 205/55/16 and compare it with a 225/45/17, you will see that the diameters are so close, it won't make any difference for the speedo.
