tirerack.com wheels

hey so ive been tryin to browse for rims...

on tirerack.com when i enter that my car is a clk 550 there is a very limited selection of wheels

however when i enter clk 350 there are plenty of wheels

i know is this is due to my large breaks....


will gettin spacers allow me to put on any of the wheels listed for a clk 350? what spacers will help me clear the brakes? Thanks

Why don't you use the Clk 500 because the stock offset of the 500 and 550 is pretty much the same.

I'm all for getting wheels with correct offsets. Spacers are ok to use.

Never used spacers, always preferred to buy wheels with correct offset.
