Winter Wheel Tire setup
What is the best winter wheel/tire setup for my CLK 430? What are you guys using?
I was thinking about running 16x7.5 front and rear steel wheels but what should be the min and max offsets I can use?
Will the 16" steel wheels clear the brake's or do I need to stick to the stock wheel sizes?
Any suggestions for specific tires?

Do you think the OEM 16" 7 spoke wheels would fit on the 430? Did the 430 come with bigger rotors/calipers than the 320 because of the V8? The reason I ask, is I think the 7 spokes were stock on the 320 (can anyone confirm?).
