I just purchased a 04 clk55 and came across the chance to buy some decent rims at a VERY good price for the quality and make and I was wondering about making them fit. The measurements are :

20"x11.5" wheels with 305/25ZR20
20"x9.5" wheels with 245/30ZR20

I know they are a little bit wide in the back but how will it fit on my car? if they dont fit that well is there any other options I could do to make them fit or would it be better just to forget about these rims and get something else? I know they are quite large and not many people run with 20' on these cars but the price i am getting is tempting me. Thanks in advance for the help guys much appreciated

I doubt that the rears will fit. I have 265/30ZR19's on the rear of a 2004 CLK55. 275's looks like no problem, 285's will probably rub without rolling the fenders. On the front I have 235/35ZR19's, and 245's should be no problem. I lowered mine about 1" and you will want to do the same to make it look right or else the car looks jacked up. I have seen one or two CLK pic's posted on this forum with 20's.
