Dubs on a CLK500?

I was wondering if 19" s were as high as I could go with my car or if it could take on some 20"s.

20's are a bit large and you will have that chuck wagon look(too high).. drop it with 19's... My buddy has a clk55 with 19 zauber gettin's )(4 inch rear lip)lowered w/ h&r springs and it looks bad to the bone. If you are on a budget check out the axisheels.com gallery (the milano style) You can hook up for about 2,600.... pm me for contact info for pricing, I know someone their. good luck

I really would not do it. With only 25 series rubber you're just asking for a bent wheel. I bent the two front stock wheels with 45 series tires. In addition, the extra weight hurts the performance of your vehicle.

Agreed! 20's are Way too big, unless you have a widebody setup. Go 19, its clean.
