1999 CLK 430
99 CLK 430 Wheel Question
Hello all,

I am new to the site. Appreciate any help I receive from y’all. I put some wheels on my car and the fronts are rubbing on the knuckle. Can I make this fit??

The wheels are 18 inch AMG wheels.

Offsets below.
The D8Jx18H2ET45 are the fronts.
The 8.5 are the rears

The fronts are on 225/45/r18
The rears are on 265/35/r18

Nice, I recommend just measure out where wheels is hitting, and grind down with a file. Shouldn't be too much of problem.

True, however depending on your state's inspection rules, they will fail your ride.
Double check with your local laws b4 going that route.
