So i was searchibg my local CL when i stumpled upon 19 chrome madrus manhilliem wheels at a pretty decent price. I would like to know if there is anyway i could get these to fit. If so, how?
Heres the specs he gave me...
5x112
Rear 19 x 10 1/2 backspacing 7 3/8" 35mm offset
Front 19 x 9 1/2 34mm offset backspacing 6 1/2
Thanks for the help!

Im hoping someone with more knowledge with 19x9 and 10x10.5 can help. if you can fit it that would be great because that will open up a larger used selection for us =]

I wouldn't mind doing both as long as I don't have any issues...
what's your opinion on the 9.5 up front? I just don't know how I would go about making sure they would fit and what sizes tires I would need to buy.
Also, considering I'm not dropped how do you guys think it will look?

Would a 24mm shank be ok with this setup? Thanks!

I'd be shocked if 9.5's would fit up front.
On my 06 CLK350, which I just bought used, whoever did wheel/tire work on it before put 235/45's all around and, based on the fact that the bead of the larger tire (225 -> 235) in what should be the smaller (7.5" rim) looks stretched and the bead of the smaller tire (245 -> 235) in the larger (8.5" rim) looks pinched, I can only deduce that they also put the rear rims on the front and visa versa...
All that being said, with the 8.5's being upfront, there isn't enough room for my pinkie finger between the rim and the gas strut. You could space it but I would hate for my fenders to be ruined from scraping the tire.
Consequently, does anyone know if there is any kind of rim size labeling I could look at to confirm my theory without having to remove the tire from the rim and measuring?? That would be SUPER HELPFUL!

RH AN would fit....
Hi mates!!
I have bought RH AN:
Front 9x19" ET49 in 235/35/19
Rear 10,5x19" ET43 in 275/30/19
Please give me spacers options not to rubbing but in the limit inside with the struts so having thes less as possible outside.
I'm thinking about +20mm front and rear.. but maybe 19mm is better, please help me!
Could fit?

wow thats a low drop. I had to raise my fronts by .5 inch (Bilstein PPS9) as I ran in to trouble. Hit a pothole while turning and the wheel hit the bottom of the fender banding it out a bit. Lucky its not so bad and I banded it in by hand, mostly. Tire was fine as well.

I have just fitted
F:19x8.5 et 35 245/35/19
R:19x9.5 et38 275/30/19
what is the ideal spacer to order to have a more flush look, the front looks ok but the rear really needs it, would 15mm be sufficient? or go 20mm? currently on standard clk55 amg suspension but will be dropping it with H&R springs
any help would be great

Hi All,
I have just been able to pick up a set of 19" Brabus Monoblock VI's. These are 8.5x19 ET30 and 9.5x19 ET30.
We have no option for spacers as they are illegal here except for on Porsches.
Will these be a suitable fit for my CLK350 with 30mm lowered Eibach springs?
Thanks
Tom

Looking to get some new wheels and just want to double check that they'll fit fine with everything.
http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/...2#.UsSgwLR0koV
These are the wheels in particular. Anybody have experience with this company? I'm hoping they're not pieces of **** that are gonna break or bend.
The thing is, I'm hoping to take the tires off my current wheels and put them on these since they're reasonably new and I'd hate to throw them out. I know the back tires will fit, as they're 255/40/18. But I'm a bit concerned with the fronts. They're 225/40/18. I've looked it up and it seems like they'd fit, but it'll just look a little funny. Nothing too awful I hope? I don't want to be cringing every time I come out to my car.
If it matters, the tires are Sumitomo HTR Z III rears and Sumitomo Pro Tour LSW fronts. Any help in the matter would be great.

w209 CLK55 Fitment
w209 CLK55 Stock Height (Needs Drop ASAP 
!!)
Wheels: MRR GF6
Size: 19x8.5 225 35 19 ET25
19x9.5 265 30 19 ET25
Tires: Nitto N555
I wanted to be as flush as possible without rubbing. The fronts should be good.
(With Camber from lowering Id imagine the Rears will need 10mm to be "Flush")
So if you want to be flush and play it safe, Id say 25 et in the front and 20 et in the rear.
Will post pics once its lowered on coil overs.
