2005 CLK 320 Cab.
Help with wheel and tire decision
Greetings to all:
I have a 2005 CLK 320 cab with the stock staggered 17" wheels and tires. I am looking at 18" AMG wheels with the following specs and tires:
Front: wheels 8Jx18 tires 245-40-18
Rear: wheels 9Jx18 tires 265-35-18
Could someone please indicate if these sizes will work on my 2005 CLK without any modifications or effect on handling and driveability?
I appreciate your input.

the offset and backspacing are what you need to focus on. CLK's have big calipers and require almost six inches of backspacing on the front along with about a 32 offset.
