CLK 500
Just bought these rims
Hello,
I just bought a set of CLK 63 Black Series rims.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170715623390...#ht_634wt_1417
I have a 2005 CLK 500 Coupe with exterior AMG package. I wanted to know what the best tire option would be in terms of fitment and even suggestions on the tires. I want a clean flush look with the fender. Thank you in advance.

You won't need a spacer up front as ET25 is more than enough, ideal for the rear is about ET 25 as well so you could add a 5mm spacer but it'll be a nightmare since its not hubcentric, you'll have to go with 10mm.

I was wondering if anyone had insight about tire sizes. Also I don't understand the hub centric thing, i was wondering if you meant that spacers aren't a good idea or that the 5mm ones aren't.

10mm is the least you can go if you wanted a hub centric spacer.
I had 5mm on the front before and it caused my steering wheel to vibrate over 110km/h.

Those are the tire sizes I am running and having no issues. As for the spacers, 10mm is where you want to start, under that (5mm) is not hubcentric and wil provide you with a wealth and lifetime of suicide inducing vibrations.

I'm waiting for them to be shipped. I live in Canada so it was gonna be like 600$ but I used my business account with FedEx so got it to 210$ they should arrive in 5 business days. I also bought a Euroteck carbon fibre front lip. Now I'm looking for a carbon finer rear diffuser and not sure which to get.

Also for the rear tires 265/30/19 is going to be way too thin.For streets here in Montreal I would have bubbles on my tires within a week. The width was what I was looking for. I appreciate all of your insights.

Try Edmonton streets lately? They mimic German airstrips at the end of WWII, for a capital city their infrastructure is pathetic.

CLK 500
I just have one more inquiry before they go on tomorrow. I was wondering if there's anything I need specifically whether it's a spacer or certain length of bolts to make sure these fit on my 2005 CLK 500, I just want to make sure that it was a straight fit.
