Fitting 20's

Do 20's fit on the clk? Or do they fit only if fenders are rolled?

Also if they do fit are you able to have passengers in the back seats?

W209 - W163
20's can fit if you roll the fenders, but with passengers in the back, you will get some serious rubbing, especially if your car is lowered on 20's... i have seen 20's on a W208 CLK, but once again, rubbing is definately an issue one way or another.

Cool Agree

Agree with Viktor.

But hey CLK, what is the chance you will take some passanger in the back seat? Once every month? Rarely. So go for the 20". Your car will look awsome.

Plus if you can afford 20" rim + tire, you can afford to change the tires periodically, right? - I change them almost every year.

20" on CLK, bravo.

19s look perfect, 20s will rub and are more vulnerable to bending. stick with the 19s.

Appreciate the advice, I think im going to go 19's hre 841or 843 the hidden hardware makes them appear a little bigger, so to the average eye the rim will probably look like 20 anyway

Nice choice, 20's will make your car very difficult to drive. I like 841R better!
