These are the wheels I am looking to put on my '01 CLK55 but I think they are too large to fit without any adjustments. Can you guys help clarify? Will these go on with no mods (ie. do NOT require fender roll, etc). I know the offset is wrong but I think spacers can be used, right? The bolt pattern is correct @112. These are on eBay for the next day at no reserve (currently a little over $2K). Thanks in advance for your advice. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33748

I was not sure either when I upgraded my wheels, that's why I stuck with 18" - those rims are nice, but for the money I think you can do better on Tire rack - deeper lip and wider would provide better handling and a more aggressive look - Just my two cents

Rims will fit but the tires are too wide unless you do some serious fender rolling.

Close this thread please
I've gotten my direction from the wheels&tire forum on this site. Based on that input, the lugs aren't the correct size (14mm vs. the correct 12mm) and the tires are simply a little too wide. Also from the other posts, it apears that my fenders may already be "rolled" from the factory (Since it's a CLK55). As I stated initially, I don't want to "force" anything onto my car so I will simply keep looking for the 18's. Thanks for the replies guys!

I had those rims on CLK before... you need to roll out your fenders and buy a 15mm spacer kit from H&R. It will fit then, but it wont fit if you dont buy the spacers. Hope this helps, bought mine from www.optauto.com

I just swapped them for the one piece CL rims, 19"
