Possibly looking at a 2001 CLK55 AMG

Hi All! New member to MBworld here . I am currently looking into a 2001 CLK55 amg and was wondering if you guys could give me any detail on common issues with the car.

I currently have a VW Jetta http://www.dubwerks.com/projects/featured/jan2005.php and was also wondering if I could use my existing wheels on the CLK. I have a set of Brock B4s with the following specs;

18x8.5 on 235 series tires (front), 18x10 on 255 series tires (rear)
OFFSET/et 35
5 bolt pattern

Can any clk55 owners out there tell me if the above wheels could possibly fit (and if I would need to get wheel adapters). Thanks Guys!

Nice Jetta!

VW and MB use wheels of the same bolt pattern. What you might want to check is the center bore(?)/hub size.

Check with the others on the width and offset!
