06 SLK 350 Silver 19" AMG CR1 rims and clear side markers.
Well the stock wheels on mine were 35 front, 37 rear. I just put 19's on it but there are quite a bit wider, so the fronts are 30 but the rears are 38. Looks fine, right out to the edge both front and back with no rubber sticking out. I don't know if that helps, but that what i run.

20's!! LOL, you tryin to be a playAH!! dude get an escalade... ok. There is no status symbol in an MB SLK... OK, maybe an sl55 and then only a complete fool would put 20+ on it....

That's a bit harsh but yeah, what he said is right. If you are going to get wheels w/o rivets, 18's is perfect, if you are going to get it with rivets 19's are perfect. 20's will ruin your ride, wheels, and looks. That's just extreme for a tiny car like the SLK but if that's what you are looking for then do it. Factory offsets are 37mm front and 30mm rear.
