I have a 2006 CLK 500, i was wondering if these would work?

Please don't tell me to go with 19"s... i have 19"s on now and i've cracked one and bent the other... new jersey is full of pot holes

Also.. what is the biggest tire i can fit? Is it even possible for 225 45zr19's to fit? Would it look silly?

u should b ok

you really need to know the offset....

zyklon69

What offset do i need?

NOLA911

HOw are you going to fit a 19inch tire if you dont want to go 19 on the wheels?

Pretty huge difference in 225 45zr19's and 225 45zr18's

zyklon69

What i meant is.. is it possible to fit 45zr19's on a 19" wheel and have it be ok inside the wheel well? Otherwise.. im going with 18" wheels with 45zr18

The offset for the front and rear wheels. Ask the seller.

For 19's the standard tire sizes are;

Front 235 35 19
Rear 265 30 19

If you wanted to run a 45 series tire on 19's it would be skinny as hell. To maintain aspect ratio's you would need to run 185 45 19 all around, not to mention you'd need to find a rim about 6" wide.

Go with 18's mate.

Like a few people say, you need the offset. 45 series would be ok for the 18's but not the 19's. What part of NJ you driving in?

zyklon69

Central NJ, when i had first bought my 19's, i had cracked on within a month, and now over the summer i had bent another one, actually.. im still driving with the rim on, it has a slow leak. As much as i love the rims, i can't deal with this hassle of having to worry about each and every bump i hit. I'm going to try to find some nice 18s

Can't find out what the offset is.. it's from a 2009/2010 CLS63

dynomite05

True, I switch to my 18's for the winter. You need the offset before you could pull the trigger.

zyklon69

Im not very car savvy.. but I have two sets of bolts.. one set that came with my factory amg rims, and the other set are shorter bolts for my 19"s which have a 32/35 offset. Still trying to fing out what the offset is, what if the offset is 25? or 45?

dynomite05

Whoa, that's a big difference between those two offsets. Depending on the wheels you might need new bolts also.

zyklon69

So if the offset is say 45.. i would need longer bolts than if the offset was 32? yes?

dynomite05

ET45 you would need to use spacers. Chances are with that offset you will be hitting your shocks/struts.

dynomite05

No prob. Hope it works out

Nice picture for the explanation Dyno

Would a 40 offset work for the rear wheels?
