i have ordered some new work wheels for my 2003 clk 500


18 X 8.5 +30 offset 235/40/18 front

18 X 9.5 +30 offset 265/35/18 rear


The only thing is that the bigger tire size 235 versus 225 and 265 versus 255 hopefully doesn't rub or need camber adj etc.


i was going to the 235/265 setup because someone said the 8.5 and 9.5 setup might stretch the tire using 225/255 and not look good.


I don't want a stretched or tall look (225/255) but also don't want rubbing inside or on the wheel well (235/265)


any thoughts on the 235 versus 225 and 265 versus 255 tire size set up much appreciated.


Thanks

235 and 265 will fit perfectly fine.

have you ever seen this set up for a w209 clk 500 because the 30 mm
offset pushes out the rim a bit more but it is the same setup Brabus uses
but they use a 225/255 tire combo but i think it may look stretched.


18 X 8.5 +30 offset 235/40/18 front

18 X 9.5 +30 offset 265/35/18 rear


any one else with thoughts also appreciated.

thanks
