Does anyone have 19x10 rear on their CLK
What's up guys? I'm a newbee and if you can help me out it would be great. I ordered some DPE R05 which are 19x8 in the front and 19x10 in the back. I was wondering if anyone has put 19x10's in the rear and how do they look. I'm really concerned about them sticking out. I want them to look flush. The guy at the shop I ordered the wheels from said they will fit and the extra .5 inch make the lip look awesome. I know that the standard is 19x9.5 in the back. The wheels are going to cost me $4000, but I want to cancel the order if it's going to look funny. Please help before it's too late. Thanks.

They are for sale.
I have the Kleemann springs installed. No rubbing problems.

Str8 - One thing about my setup - The car also came with a set of 18" Lorinser Diamond Cut LM5's and Bridgestone Potenza S03 Pole Position Tires. At one point I put the Lorinsers on the car - first of all, I think the LM5's are the best looking rims for the CLK. Only reason I took them back off is because in the rear the 18' LM5's looked a little small. Second though, the Lorinsers are lighter than the HRE's and man I'm telling you I could feel a seat of the pants performance difference as soon as I took the car out the first time after putting them on and felt a decrease in the seat of the pants when I put the HRE's back on. The Bridgestone's are also ALOT quieter than the Toyo Proxes mounted on the HRE's.
My ultimate wheel/tire combo would be 19" LM5's and Potenzas.... Someday.
My HRE's are for sale.
