Hey guys, I just recently purchased another clk550 and then just picked up a set of used rims for it. The rims I purchased are 19s and 8.5 in front and 9.5 in the back with an et45 all the way around. So my question is what spacer is it going to take to make these things fit and will I need new bolts too? From what I read im thinking ill need 15mm spacers all around to clear my front brakes and everything. Id like them to fit best as possible but I definitely don't want any rubbing! haha Thank you guys! Glad to be back!

What is the stock lug bolt size and length? I figured the spacers would be 12mm up front and 15mm on the back with et45 but now I'm trying to find out what lug bolts I'll need. I've looked and searched everywhere but can't seem to find it. I'd rather not pull the lug bolt off to check because I'm afraid I'll miss measure or some crappie haha. Can anyone please help. Thanks!

I've looked and searched everywhere but can't seem to find it. I'd rather not pull the lug bolt off to check because I'm afraid I'll miss measure or some crappie haha. Can anyone please help. Thanks!
Stock lug bolt is:
2.5 inches (60-62mm)
39mm (about 1.5 in.) Shank (skinny part of bolt; end of thread to bolt head)
20mm (about 3/4 in.) Thread
The stock rims are ET37 in the front and ET30 in the back.
What I did to fit my aftermarket rims was measure how much of the stock bolt sticks out of the stock (OEM) rims (3/4in.) and get a spacer that maintains that 3/4in. extrusion. So if your stock bolt sticks out of your new rims by 1.25 inches, then a 12mm spacer would be perfect. (Remember that an inch is 25.4mm)
In my case the stock bolt stuck out of my new rims by 1.25 inches, so I got a 10mm spacer for the front and a 12mm spacer in the back.
*** Make sure the spacers are hub centric and for Mercedes (hub bore 66.56mm). The front spacers have to have the grease cap extrusion that is hard to find for cheap. I ended up going for the H&R 10mm front spacers for like $75. Tough decision but I wanted my new rims to fit.

Few questions for Michelin tires owners. I have stock size Micheling A/S3 from Costco in Mid 2014 and now have 10k miles on them.
I can see cracks on the side walls, is that normal and should be covered under warranty or no?
Thanks for the help.

notes:
1 finger vertical gap to fender on front, no finger vertical gap in rear
front is almost perfect, possibly 245 would make it perfect?

i do want to try #4 pads also (my car came with #2 pads )
car has half tank of gas and no cargo in it at time of pictures
super small rubbing on front, forward guard (1.5" x .5" section) when you turn the wheels. can not hear rubbing.

there is about 9mm room inside to rear chassis before contact (rear)

also, these wheels are not the final wheels i want. just want to nail down fitment before i payout for nice wheels.
here is the order i will try:
install 275 tires, 275 35 18 rt615
alignment, rear set to 1 degree
check clearance
add spacer?
check clearance
lol... add 285 tires, remove spacer... repeat until clearance issues...

I'm currently running Michelin Pilot Super Sport 255/35/18 on my Forgestar F14 rear wheels (18x9.5 ET33). Could I go up to a 265/35/18? I'm on Eibach springs/Bilstein shocks and don't rub currently.

A 265/35 is the ideal tire for a 9.5" wide wheel in the rear for our cars. Once my 255's need replacing I'll be stepping up to sticky 265 tire myself.

Hi guys I didnt want to start a new topic and decided to post here as its about fitment...
Will these fit on my 04 w209 clk 320?
19x8.5 front - 245/35/19 - ET38
19x9.5 rear - 275/30/19 - ET38 (possible swap to 265 instead)
Friend of friend selling and had them on a w208 clk 320 before but has sold the car...
I have stock suspension/coils and no spacers. Will I need them?
Any advice/help is greatly appreciated thank you so much!

Hi all,
I currently own a 2007 CLK 320 CDI with the below setup without any issues:
F: 18x8.5 ET35 (235/40/18)
R: 18x8.5 ET35 + 12/15mm spacer (265/35/18)
I'm thinking of going with the following setup, would I have any issues or would I need larger/smaller spacers? Also, what about the tire sizes, should I go with 255 at the rear or can I put on a 265?
F: 18x8 ET32 (225/40/18)
R: 18x9 ET35 (265/35/18)
Your help would be greatly appreciated

front:
i have about 5mm space before touching the shock. keep in mind i have bilstein short stroke and 18x8.5 +32 with hankook evo2 235 40 18, -0.8 degrees camber
if you plan on changing to clk550 or clk63 brakes, it probably won't fit... need to check spoke clearance.
rear:
i think you should be okay. but when you lower it... it will get very close to the inside body chassis part.

update on my setup:
i finally got the 275 rear tires on my setup. the fitment is getting closer! tires now have matching look, rear was stretched a bit. now they look very similar.

here is the before and after pictures for the spacer installation. if you are going to get the exact same wheels, you need a 22mm lug bolt. i changed the rears to 33mm long lug bolt to accommodate the 10mm spacer.

2005 CLK 500
Will these wheels fit?
Hi everyone, I’m new here and I just picked up a 2005 clk500. I purchased a set of gloss black style 628 wheels for my VW CC, but never got the chance to put them on. I have done a lot of research and I’m pretty sure these won’t fit my clk due to the offset being too high, but if anyone could clarify that would be very helpful to me. Here are some specs of the wheels that I bought. Thanks for the help.
- 18"x8" - Set of Four
- Offset: 45mm
- Center Bore: 66.6mm
- Bolt Pattern: 5x112
- Gloss Black with a Machined Face
- TPMS Compatible
- Center Caps Included
- Includes Four 57.1mm Hub Centric Rings
- Requires Ball Seat Lug Bolts
- Weight: 25.05 lb Each

Hey I’m new here, I’m working on my car but I’ll let you know what I’ve got on it.
I’ve got some 20x10.5 with a +20 offset in the rear w/25mm H&R spacers, 19x8.5 in the fronts w/10 mm spacers to clear.
Dropped on eibach Springs,
tires are pirelli all around, 275/35/20 rear(Do plan on 305/35 since I’ve got wider fenders)and 225/35/19 in the front.
rears obviously rub that’s why I’m making new over fenders for it.
fronts sit flush with no rubbing.
will upload more pics when done.
