anyone? Fronts are ET +30 and Rears are ET +31. Rims are 19in and 8.5/9.5.
I just wanna know if they would fit on the CLK but I have no idea because I've never bought rims before. From what I can tell from reading other posts, I'm thinking that spacers are most likely going to be needed buy any help would be greatly appreciated.

99CLK320,
30mm offset pushes the rim further out from the original 35mm. If you add spaces you would push them out even farther so I would think that would not be a good idea. I purchased a matched set 17" x 8" wide by 32mm offset. the front is perfectly flush with the wheel well. The rear not quite so. From what you have posted I think the front "may" be slightly outside the wheel well given they are 8.5 wide. I don't think the front will work but could be wrong. I would call tirerack.com or discounttire.com for some technical advice. There are tire calculators out there too http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp
I just noticed that you have a 55 which has bigger brake calipers which can throw a wrench in the works. Call those two sellers for advice.
