Wheel fitment question
Has anyone ever put factory CLK (W208) AMG wheels on an ML? I am curious to see how it looks. I have a set laying around and was going wondering what they would look like on the ML. The factory wheels leave quite a lot to be desired on the ML 320. The CLK rims are staggered and are 5x112, 17x7.5 in the front and 17x8.5 in the back. Am curious to know if I can put up to a 255 tire on these without fitment issues. Thanks!

ummm....the ML is AWD....you cant put 2 different size rims on it with even the same size tires because the overall heights will be different...also I dont believe the offset will be right and the fitment will look like ****.

The rims are the same size, just staggered. I do agree though that the offset looks to be off though so I will be looking into some other wheels. Thanks!

fitment
the offset is the thing. my stock 17 in wheels have a 52 offset. but i have seen posts with 20 in wheels and 35 offset. fyi- am selling a set of oem 17in 03 ml insperation wheels, if you wanted to change the look.
