woops, sorry for the duplicate picture, first time inserting pictures...
anyways, was surveying the boards opinion on:
1) the look of this wheel
2) and whether these offsets will fit,
-store A says the offsets are (according to their website):
Sizes: 18x8.5" & 18x9.5"
Offsets: ET 38mm & 25mm
Bolt Pattern: 5x112 mm
Structure: one-piece cast alloy
Finish: MACHINED
Fitments: MERCEDES
-while store B says the offsets are:
5x112mm lug, 35mm
________________________________________
Store A only has the 18's and say they will fit my '05 CLK CAB for sure.
Store B has both 18's and 19's but say they are not sure either way whether I would need spacers or not!
any advice would be appreciated.

Dear Harris,
thanks for the info, did you mean they wont clear for the 18's or 19's?.
Could you please provide for me the offset numbers for the front and rear of my clk500?
sincerely,
FG
