I'm looking to replace my stock rims and tires, I have my eye on a new set of Roderick RW2 Cinque/ silver 8.5 front 9.5 rear 19" w 235/35/19's & 265/30/19's. Should I let them pick the offsets? I have stock suspension with the exception of H&R Sways.Will they look okay or will I have alot of room in the wheelwells?

Does this setup going to work on 2004 CLK500?

Diameter - 19''

Front Width - 8.5''

Rear Width - 9.5"

Front Offset - +45

Rear Offset - +48

Centerbore - 66.6

Bolt Pattern - 5x112

I think you'll have to use spacers with that setup

Back in Feb i Asked if 20' rims would fit on my clk-500, most ppl told me to go with 19' i really didnt like the styles that i saw for 19' do i ended up getting the 20's currently they are not rubbing
i went 7.5/235/20 in front and 8.5/235/20 in back
this is what the car looks like now. in the next couple of weeks im going to lower it with h&r springs 1.4 in front and 1.3 in back.

Here's the thing. If you use 20" wheels you will need to use tiny sidewall tires to even get close to the stock overall diameter which you can't reach. Therefore your speedometer will be slightly off and also any computer calculations like traction/stability control, etc. that are predicated on that dimension. You will also effectively change the final drive gearing of the car as increasing the diameter is like making the gears longer. You will more easily damage the wheels bc you have no sidewall and you will also have less room in the wheel well so you will also damage fender liners and all sorts of other stuff you don't expect like wires for fog lights that runs closely behind the liners. So can you do 20" wheels? Yes but you better really love looks and be willing to sacrifice functionality, and it would be good to do some research about what adverse effects might occur. HTH

Sj you running a+5 spacer on the rear. Any vibration on the freeway? I tried +5 h&r on the rears before and had to take them off after 30 minutes.

Redline - I like, nice and clean.

I meant it's at a +5 offset now so it's a 30mm spacer on 90mm studs. no vibration at all.

What are you lowered on?

sweet jones

H&R coilovers now. Will be ordering a new suspension setup soon. I finally made a thread with more pictures and info if you'd like to check it out.

I just talked to a "rims and tires" rep/salesman, and ask will these wheels fit, the fronts will but the rears won't. he said I can use 5mm spacers but he doesn't recommend them cuz there will b vibrations at high speeds :/ true any1 have issues like this?

lowpost

True. Took 5mm off after 3 minutes on the freeway.

I'm not into form over function, aka looks over safety. Guess I'll keep my oem 17" AMG maybe refinish them in stock or another color or buy the new rims and live with a set of rear rims tucked in (same offset all around).

I'm looking for a set of the standard CLK320 16" wheels. These are the base model wheels (16x7 ET37) for '98-'00 I beleive. Let me know what you have. Thanks

Anyone know if those Ghost camber kits are still available and where I'd get one? Tired of chewing through the insides of tires.

im trying to get some wheels.replicas that would fit an 03 w209 clk55AMG.front offset is 37 and rear 30.
im looking at some wheels at this spec

18x8.5 ET30 / 18x9.5 ET35

will these fit?
if not what is the maximum and minimum offset i can go for front and back?

AvocentAMG

Yes those will fit.

I'm running 18 x 8.5 ET32 in the front. 2mm won't make that much of a difference.

guku0701

thanks for the reply.just what i wanted toknow.i wouldnt need ant spacers or anything right?your car looks soo damn nice.love the amg black style rims

AvocentAMG

No need for spacers. You'll be fine.

Thanks

guku0701

thats how much i like the look of your car hahaha

AvocentAMG

Those will fit. Pretty pricey though!

You might as well get the same set I bought.

I paid $1800 with tires/mounted/balance/shipped.

guku0701

where did you get your set from?i thought this was a good price since im planning to use the same tires im using now.
