225/40/18 front with 255/35/18 rear or
235/40/18 front with 265/35/18 rear
both of these setups are very good

The same diameter will let the ESP, ABS, etc. work better.
275 on the back is not a problem, depending on your offset. 235 on the front is easy too. 245 can work with the proper offset, but it may stick out too much.

no u dont need to modify the fender at all..u should find a perfect offset...for 20's on CLK. I recomend that using 20x8 and 20x9 at rear or 20x9.5. remember use 245-35/20 SP 9000 they are the best tires..P Zero are too thick.

You should try out these calculators to help you with tire size and offsets.

clk's with 20's
you can absolutely fit 20" rims on a clk without any major adjustments. i am currently running 20x8.5 front & rears on my clk320 & tire size of 225/35/20 on both. However, i would recommend finding the proper offsets not just tossing any rim you like on em cuz the bolt patterns fit. i have Velocity V710 sport rims on mine currently. i just got 20x9 fronts & 20x9.5 rears for it though & i only have to roll the fenders. will run 255/30 in front & 275/25 or 285/25 in rear if i can find the tires, lol. good luck!

Hi Ahmed,
yours is an AMG CLK. NICE!!!!
On my standard 2002 CLK 430 can I fit these 18" monoblocks from my 2002 E55 AMG?
225/40/18 front with 255/35/18 rear or
235/40/18 front with 265/35/18 rear Best tire size in your experience?
Thanks,
Quentin
