From what I understand 20's will not fit the CLK because the tire and rim will be too wide causing it to hit the cotrol arm, however you can modify the control arm to fit 20's, nothing that I am familiar with and something that I wouldn't recommend anyone to do...but I really want to put 20's on too, hope this helps

What control arm? I though CLKs don't come with Airmatic. I think 20's is pushing it, BRABUS will not let you put any wheel size that they don't recommend. Besides, you would have to go with a BRABUS 20x9 and 20x9.5, which are spec'd for the R230, plus tire size is important, if you go with 245/35 and 275/30 your overall diameter would be 1 inch over the standard diameter causing your spedo to be off. RAJA i would not go to BRABUS for this info, i would contact some shops like evosport or the wheelexperts, the are pros at doing this sort of stuff.

Wheel Weight
How much more do 18" and 19" rims weigh in comparioson to the stock 16" and 17" rims on the W209? I want to see how much the larger rims will slow down the car...
