Hi all. I'm planning to put 19" 8.5 wheels on my CLK 55 and want to know these tires (245/35-19) will fit properly and what brand is good? TIA

They look a little to tall, they may work but I bet they will rub.
Michelin Pilot Sports are a great tire, also the Yokohama and the new Bridgestone S03.
If this is to messed up I have an excel file that has all the currant tire sizes and specifications. Send me an e-mail and I'll forward it to ya.
(I will be out fo town for the next few days. You can also get this info iff the tire rack web site.)
Best of luck to ya,
Tim

245s will not work without modification. On my wheels, I had to use spacers and pull the fenders.
