Need Wheel Expert Advice!
Brabus Monoblock V multipiece
Front, 19-8.5 ET 35 with 235-35ZR Dunlop SP9000
Rear, 19-10 ET 35 with 265-30ZR

Will it rub? Do I need spacers in the back?

My car's not lower yet, any suggestions on what to get?

I dont think it will rub if you dont lower it. However, Brabus Mono V doesnt have 19x10 for a CLK! Are you sure its 19x10?

It will look weird if I don't lower it, so I'll have to eventually if I do get rims.

19X10 can be special ordered from Brabus

"She's a keeper", can't let this car go yet. Might just keep it in the family.

Not to fond to the W209 interior, but my CLK55 is still on order, I'll see when it arrives.

IMO W209 looked really similar to c class. Interior is very "plasitic" and I would rather have a wood interior than alumium.

The alumium trim is standard, wood is not even an option. Not available as far as I know.

BTW, Thanks for all your inputs, 19X10 will definitely rub if the car's lowered. Better stick to the old traditional 19X9.5 on the rear set

I agree that the 208 interior is slightly preferable to the 209. For that matter, I like the exterior of the 208 better too. To me, the 209 looks too elegant -- not enough muscle -- I don't care for the pinched rear either. It might grow on me though....
