I have spacers for my Brabus 19x8.5F and 19x9.5R. It gives you a nice staggered rims look.

Whether you need them or not is a difficult question. This is based on the offset of the wheels and the look you are going for. As Lowryder stated, spacers often give a nice aggresive look. As for if you will be fine without them and the offset you shoudl get, this is easy. Any wheel that you would get will have CLK specific fitments that will not require spacers or you to worry about the offset numbers.

Thanks,

Ben
