Sorry...More questions about wheels

1) What does staggered mean?

2) has anyone put the 2003 e-class sport 17" rims on their clk? (If yes, could you please post pics) Do you guys think it will fit on a clk and will it look good?

Thanks!!!

It means the front and rear rims are different widths. The back should be wider than the front.
Example: 18x8 fronts, 18x9 rears.

1. Staggered means that the width of the front wheels and rear wheels are different, which also means that the tires width are different too. The rear tires are usually wider than the front for better traction (Rear Wheel Drive).

2. The wheel offset for E class and CLK class might be different. It might fit with just spacer. Check with others.
