KID - if the overall diameter of the bigger wheels/tires combo is larger than the stock 17" wheels/tires... then you get an effective lower gear ratio.... so lower revs / equiv mph..... and better fuel econ..... on the highway at least........ at least on paper.

Need some help here if anyone is familiar with 3 piece wheels. Specifically 19".
So I bought some Asanti wheels and the offset is totally wrong, but I good a good deal so I bought it anyways. Actually the offset is not even shown on the wheels at all. It came with 7.5" inner barrels in the front/2" lip, and 8" inner barrels in the back with 2.5" lip. The backs will fit with 20mm spacers (I tried it actually) but I don't really wanna run spacers, I'd rather have a bigger front lip.
I also have extra pieces front and backs that i bought elsewhere.
So here's what I'm thinking:
I run 7" inner barrels with 3.5" lips on backs and run 6.5" inner barrels with 2.5" lips on fronts. that'll make it 19x10 in back and 19x8.5 in front. I have most parts to make this happen except a 3.5" lip (I can order). I think this should work but would love to have any inputs from you guys around here.
Here's all the parts I have to make this happen (not all in pairs though)
Inner barrels:
two 19x8
two 19x7.5
two 19x7
two 19x6.5
Lips:
two 19x2 (one has a bend, hence I don't want to run 2" lips in front because I have to repair)
four 19x2.5 (one set polish, one set chrome)
one 19x3.5 (can get another one)
one 19x4 (can get another one)
I have a 05 clk 320, what's the max inner barrel/lip combo can I run on fronts/backs?
Can I run a 4" lip on back with the 7" inner barrel?
any input will be greatly appreciated. TIA!!!

No spacers, no mods. Different bolts were needed. Offsets pushed them out nicely!

Hi guys, read this thread about 100 times but want to be sure on fitment. This is for a clk500 not clk55.
Looking at getting a set with these size:
Size : 19x8.5 (F) & 19x9.5 (R)
Bolt pattern : 5x112
Offset : 32mm (F) & 35mm (R)
Would you recommend a spacer in the back? Some say 35 is fine but others say 25 is ideal, so will I need a 10mm spacer? Any spacers needed up front?
Coinciding with this... I have someone who wants to sell me some tires at a discount (unrelated to wheel seller). Specs are Nexen Sport ZR:
265 30 ZR 19
235 30 ZR 19
According to the offset list that was attached many pages ago, 235/35/19 would be more ideal for the front correct? Would these fit without issue anyways?

Those offsets are WAY off where you need to be. Ideally you want the fronts sitting at +30 and the rears at +25. I would never use spacers to make up that much of a difference.

Damn. Was hoping to pick up a set of Works off a C63. Would +33 on the rears fit or is a spacer needed?
