18 inch at the back and 17 inch in the front.

I really wanted to make it look more stock as much as possible. Simple and clean 02 CLK 55. With the H&R springs, KONI adjustables, #1 spring pad for the rears and #2 for the fronts. I'm using 265/35/18 for the rears and 235/40/17 for the fronts. The 18's don't look much different in the 17's in front. The ride was better than using both 17's. I was wondering if there are any complications using this setup if rims. Hitting the corners feels more stable than the 17's all around.

The speedo accuracy will not be messed up if the overall tire diameter stays the same as stock. 265/35/18 is close.
