look in the clk55 forum, here. this guy has 285 30 20 on his 20x10's. So, it might work in the rear. the fronts will probably have some issues. lowering it might cause even more issues.

I haven't done that, but my guess is that they would fit but you might need a different offset or a small(5mm or so) spacer to keep the tire off of the inside of the wheel well. When i tried to put 295's on that is where it rubbed first, inside.
