Tire Size
What size tire is recommended or should I say fits and look the best for a set of staggered 19*8.5 & 19*9.5 rims.
Would 245/35/19 and 265/30/19 work? Would the car need spacers? I've made up my mind to buy one of the below sets of rims but not too sure about tire size.

I vote for the second rim but I am not too sure about the tire size. Have you looked into getting a polished or satin rim for your CLK? I personally think they look much classier on our CLK's than a chrome style..just my opinion.

Any input on tire size? I spoke to the guy at USA Rims where he said he recommends 235/35/19 for the front for a 8.5" rim but a 245/35/19 would work as well. Ideas?

If you do a search within this forum, you will find that I have already posted a wheel vs.tire calculator as well as a list of approved wheel-tire sizes.
In a post below 'Will CLS500 AMG Wheels/Tires Fit on my 2000 CLK320?' Wigs 22 also posted a wheel-offset calculator.
