thanks for the confirmation. if i added 5mm spacers to clear the brakes, would that push the wheels out to far? (im a noob at wheel size/offset)

i was thinking about kw variant2... is the koni yellow and h&r a better setup to go with?

I don' think proxes 4 are available anymore. You may need to go 4s or t14 sport. I just went through this.

I was thinking of trying those! But they are 21" which is way too big. I think there is a similar one from the CLS that would work in 18".

Im finally ready to buy a set of staggered 19" wheels. Im interested in the wheels stated above to see if they fit on a 2003 clk 500. Does anyone on here have these wheels on this model car. Our factory brakes r killing me n ive called the different wheel houses n the reps ARENT sure theyll fit. Perfect example the concept 1 as a selection for our cars says offset HPO/MED/AMG. I assumed they would fit until i called n rep wasnt sure.

I have KONI yellows waiting (H&R or Eibachs next). Love da look of the H&R compared to the eibach but TERRIFIED of the ride quality afterwards. However i havent heard ANY good things about the LOOK of eibachs afterward n that WOULD BE A WASTE OF MONEY if the springs dont drop! Ride quality i hear about the eibacks is good however. Lol this car is giving me a headache. Any info on this would be appreciated.

Ive read n reread the tires/suspension section for months but there r still a lot of ?s. I believe offset can be 32 -38 for front/rear but most of us go w/ 35 unless there custom built correct?

Im sorry for this long rant but any help would b appreciated esp. if anyone has the wheels stated above on there 500. Thanks n i really do love this board.

i found another set of wheels that i might be inerested in, but would like some of the wheel expert to confirm.

will these fit my 2003 clk 500 (sport brakes) that will soon be lowered on kw variant 2s?

F -- 19 x 9.0 +29
R -- 19 x 9.0 +22

Centerbore 73.

Thanks In advance.

Do vertini magic/exe konvex//concept 1 Executive rs8/ or stance evolution fit our 500s...i didnt realize I didn't put the wheel names in my above question?

Do vertini magic/exe konvex//concept 1 Executive rs8/ or stance evolution fit our 500s...i didnt realize I didn't put the wheel names in my above question? Also have the large calipers.

1st. our cars are centerbore 66.6
2. You need to go with 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. Et.25 is flush. If you go 19x9 front you will rub

There is a 500 few pages back that has the vertini magic. Also anything fits if you get the right size. Contract any of our vendors they will be able to help you

Anytime bro berke summer hek menkoun rje3na tnaynetna 3a baladna :P khedlak 3a de7ek hala2 zyede :P

Hmm thats funny.. i guess u didnt see that i posted that when i called the reps and 2 WERE from here that they had to get back to me about it.. I actually called another outside of the forum and they didnt know if they would fit if the car was lowered. THATS Y I CAME ON OUR FORUM TO ASK IF ANYONE HAD THESE ON THEIR SPECIFIC CLK 500. Im doing MY homework unless u can REALLY HELP just deal w/ ur problem because im SURE someone could tell u to JUST CALL ONE OF OUR REPS.

Sorry about that earlier rant it just caught me off guard n i was already irritated w/ a couple of things going on around me.. MY BAD.. i know most people are trying to help when they log in... i just took the info wrong n im a newbie so any info is helpful.

Look who's back lol
Car is looking good, much better than your previous setup
wheel specs ?

Specs +suspension

Hopefully we can get a central location for all of this information in this thread

contemplating on selling my clk500 but if I end up keeping it, I want to throw these 20s on my car. now just wondering how it will look and fit.

20x9.5 all around .45 or I've seen 20x10 as well. I wonder how it will fit in the front. I know that theres camber kits for the rear but not for the front (correct me if I'm wrong). and also I like the slammed look on my car and is little concerned that these will raise my car substantially.

this is what it will be going on.. its currently on stock 17s

They wont raise the car at all as long as you go with the correct 20" tire height, I think they would look pretty good, massive upgrade as to the wheels on the car now.

do you know what size tire i should be running for the 9.5's?

Not off the top of my head but I'm quite positive that someone over the course of this thread has posted some info/sizes up.

sorry for all the random posts, but i promise will be last!

so i just received my KW Variant 2 yesterday and i need to get wheels asap! I was able to locate a set of advan RS with the size of:

19x8.5 ET32 all the around with CB of 66.56. will the offset be a issue? also, can someone recommend best tire size to go with these?

thanks in advance!

Ur good w dat offset and the tire sizes will be 225/40 or 35 /19 and if u want to have flush looks might want to throw in a 10mm (22 offset now) spacer in the back . What made you decide to go w non-stagger in the back ?

I would love to go staggered, but i got the wheels for dirt cheap! New in the box for 1300 vs 4k. Anything wrong with not going staggered?

I think that advan rs's would look dope on a clk. what color clk and what color are the wheels?

Torque!
