I'm sure they are a direct bolt-on but not sure if they will fit. Your going to need to find out the ET

you will not have any fitment issues. I have a set on my car, the hard part is finding the bolts to fit. I found a set at pep boys that worked
good luck

I'm possibly buying these rims off of fitness guru and my question is whether or not they'll fit my CLK550, preferably without spacers.

The offsets are 38(18x8.5) in the front and 39(18x9) in the rear.

Worried about the brake clearance.

Finding the right bolts will be the main issue. Spacers are nice but not a must have for fitment

How can you say that? If they don't clear my brakes, then I would NEED spacers.

I have a set of longer bolts that I can cut down to make fit, so I'm not as worried about that.

That's a good question.

I have 50mm lugs that I used on my S55/CL55 rims that had an offset of 44 all around and 10mm spacers all around, so an effective offset of 34. If the 50mm lugs are too short, the perfect size would fall somewhere in between 50mm and 55mm, so I would just buy a set of 55mm lugs off eBay, I suppose.

I can say that from personal experience. I had a set of E55 wheels on my CLK55 without spacers, but with the right bolts, and they fit.

I would not recommend "cutting bolts", we're not in high school, for goodness sakes.

Well, I got the wheels last week and they hit the front strut without spacers, so I'm running a 5mm in the front now and a 10mm in the rear.
