HWYSTAR

hey guys, my question is this. I think i have decided on the wheels I would like to buy for my CLK430, The company is called Privat wheels and I believe that they are a division of Konig. The model is called Akzent and the sizes I have chosen are 18X8.5 Front and 18X9.5 Rear, the front offset is 32mm and the rear offset is 30mm. So my question is this since I am new to the MB car scene will i need to use spacers to fit these with the proper "look"? Right now the car is bone stock(as far as I know). any help is appriciated. thanks in advance.

**UPDATE** ok these wheels are also offered in 19 inch sizes,would it be better for 18 or 19 on the car? I am really going for that "race ready" look as well as the performance side of it. will any mods to the suspension or fenders be needed?

Those are pretty good offsets to start with unless you want a super aggressive look. Try them out first without spacers and adjust accordingly.

19s are going to be heavier and tires are considerably more expensive -- go with 18s.

Cool and thanks,yes the tires for the 18 inch wheel will definitly be cheaper. now to find a shop or online supplier who has the best price. I was also going to see about having the center piece painted either gold, or white at a local shop.
