with proper spacers, yes. cant remember if its 10 or 15mm. Anyway, yes it definitely can be done without too much trouble. Looks great on the CLK. Good luck.

Yes it can be done
Yes it can be done with proper spacers, but it will not be a proper fitment.
This is because the CL uses 14mm lugs, the CLK uses 12mm lugs. The ball seat lugs used have different diameters. Therefore, the portion of the lug touching the wheel is very tiny, and also the hole for the lug is much larger (by 2mm or so). So not only is the wheel fastened improperly to the hub, there's a real danger of the lug pulling through the wheel if the wheel is ever given a hard sideways jar.
Two solutions are to either use an adapter that converts the 12mm to 14mm lugs, plus takes up the space for proper offset, or to redrill your hubs and rotors for 14mm lugs.

lugs
I had custom lugs made up for my car that were longer. The front lugs can be bought, but the rear had to be milled down to the right lenght. dazzmotorsports knows what there talking about with this. Call them up and you can get all the info from them. I called them up and then had it all made myself. I think they were charging about 600 for the spacers and lugs. If you do it yourself you can save about half that.
