2006 Mercedes CLK 500 wheel fitment question

I just picked up a set of 18 inch amg wheels and I was wondering will 235/45/r18 fit in the front with no rubbing?

While I can't answer your question precisely, Here's some info that may help.



I've got 225/40's on my 500, they don't rub at all. The difference is shown here. You didn't state your width or offset (which has a lot to do with it) so I assumed same as mine. Your tire is quite a bit taller and slightly wider.

need to know all the sizes. There are quite a few 18" AMG wheels and all are different.

You need to know the width and offset for front and rear. Then buy spacers to push the wheels away from the strut. You will also need longer lug nuts. I recently went through this when I bought 18" 2010 C63 wheels.
