What are the exact specs of the rims and the tires you went with?

Any rubbing, fit issues?

Did you have to use spacers?

Is your suspensions stock or lowered and whats the mod if any?

What model of the CLK do you have?

Any rubbing, fit issues? I installed 10mm spacers in the rear for flushed fitment but it rubbed quite abit, I had to rolled the fender a little more and cut the plastic lip where the bumper and the quarter panel meet

Did you have to use spacers? See above

Is your suspensions stock or lowered and whats the mod if any? Lowered on H&R sport springs and switch spring pads from #3 to #4 in the rear

What model of the CLK do you have? CLK55

Any more pics Yes see below

You are correct. They're CLK63 rep. I think the new direction for wheels is now concaved face so the big lips are the thing of the past. I'm not a huge fan of big lips anyways...plus they're heavy

I just put 18" C63 reps on my CLK 500. No lips on those either. They are even more flush with the tire than your clk63 reps. I plan on posting pics next week.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=300313033724

The auction shows two diffrent wheels one looks like the clk63 wheels, the other one is the c63 looking wheels ( the wheels with out the center cap). I should have pics up middle of next week. I really like how it looks. I am a little bumed that the c63 athricite (dark grey) center caps are $35 a piece from mercedes. I cant find them online anywhere! If anyone knows where I can get them, holler at me.. Thanks

David
