I have searched and come up with mixed results. I have a 2002 CLK55.
Can I ask those with 18's on their car to post up real world numbers with their wheels, offsets, and tire sizes?
I am most likely going to order off of the internet and only have one shot to do so.
I am thinking 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear, but want the wheels to be flush with the fenders and not utilize spacers preferably.

hey john my best advice to you as someone with aftermarket wheels is to just not do it . your wheels look lovely as is. AMG designed their wheels to be the very best performing wheel for the car for daily use. i bought my car with aftermarket’s and i would go back to the stock wheels in a heart beat if they weren’t so expensive. now you’re gonna do what you’re gonna do regardless of what i say so my wheels i believe are those specs that you have in the post and i have spacers on the front wheels and none in the back. i think the rears rub on the inside though. that’s the stuff im talking about though, do you really want to deal with that ? you’ll probably need new lugs as well i’m not sure. make sure they’re high quality though you don’t want junk taiwanesium bending and snapping mid dumper and your wheel falls off 😂
edit: i don’t have a clk55 amg i have a w203 c55 amg but i think they’re pretty similar in specs
Based on your wheel specs you mentioned, I would assume you are looking at installing AMG Monoblock Type 2 wheels?
I ordered mine from the factory with optional Monoblocks and this is how the car looked. I didn't like the rear offsets so I installed 12mm spacers on the rears only.
