Specific CLK500 suspension and wheel fitment questions
I have an 03' CLK500. I installed Ksport Coilovers and am putting on 18x8.5 and 18x10rear Carlsson 1/16's on. I tested fitment and without tires and no spacer the rim hits the strut.. is that normal?. So i think i definitely need a spacer for the front at least 10mm hubcentric from what i have gathered on the forums, so maybe the rear as well. Another question is how long in mm will my bolts need to be? I have what the person who i bought the wheels off of gave me, and they seem to be the same size as my stock ones.. i currently have the 17" AMG wheels on.
Has anyone done a similar setup?

i read his other posts wehre there wheels originally were off an E class.. will this matter?
they came black, and i asked why they were black, he said he put a coating on to protect during shipping.. i knew he was bs'ing because they were plasti dipped.. and he never sent me spacers =/
any help or do i have to sell these to recoup my investment =(
