w209 amg clk55 widest tires on stock wheels.
What is the widest tire on the stock front and rear rims that i can run on my 2004 clk55 amg. I want to try to keep around the stock profile. But i want to run as wide as possible front and back. Any suggestions? I tried to search the forum and could not find anything.

A lot of people with aftermarket wheels run 235/35 fronts & 275/30 rears. Thats the recommended setting. I however am going with 285s in the rear on 19s, something I havent seen on 209s and been told by D2Forged I should be fine

I dont know if stock wheels make any difference

Stock rears are 8.5" wide, so I think the widest you could go is 255. This is a helpful tool for comparing dimensions of different size tires: http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

Only took a month(!), but yes, 255 is the answer.

I was thinking that in the rear you could run something around 275. It's good to know that 265 is largest you can go.

W209
CLK 320 (w209) Rims Size 18"
Can I fit 255/35ZR18/RF 94Y on a Wheel Size Range of 9x18 (Rear) and
225/40ZR18/RF 92Y on a Wheel Size Range of 8.5x18 (Front).

I want to make sure the ride will be smooth and no vibration is caused by these wheels.

Thanks!
