CLK320 drags rims, pics inside plus more
I just picked up a set of four of these bad boys from fleabay today, so let me know if anyone wants the other two. They weigh only 13.1lbs, and I plan to smooth the lips back out, and plasti dip mine. I will do the other two for free to sweeten the deal.
I do have a question though, do we need spacers to run these, and if so, what size?

You will need a 15mm-17mm and off course with that comes getting yourself longer bolts as well, 2" long should do. Not sure you are aware of the bolt diameter being smaller on these wheels...so you will need to grind these holes a bit to fit your bolts..
And last but not least, these bad boys WILL turn on your DR's
So get yourself a "bead lock" kit
Good Luck and stay thirsty my friend

They are 16x7 with a 37mm offset. As mentioned above, you need to drill the holes in the rims to fit the plump e55 lugs which takes about 5 minutes per wheel. You also need to pick up a set of spacers.
Only thing I am unaware of is the bead lock kit, did you get that from Summit, and do you have a part #?
Where do you get the longer lugs from?

Its no required to take this step until you actually mark your tire and rim at the track..also track must be hooking real hard for this to occur.
To bead lock them you need a Drill bit and pick whichever screw size you want. I got mine from local store.
