Can you please list the size of rear DR's. I have the CLK wheels, but I don't know which DR to put on for my 2012 CLS63 AMG Biturbo RWD. Please share your recommendations. Thanks a lot!

Off-topic but I know spare wheels are great for drag racing because of the narrow footprint/weight but isn't it rated for 50mph tops??? how is it safe doing this?

the clk rims are to narrow for high HP Benz's like your biturbo. rather sell those and pickup the 18x9 rims and throw on some mickey Thompson 305-35-18 drags.

Thanks for yur answer. I have the 18x10 rims from Momo. I tried to use the Hoosier DR's 305 35 18 or 315 35 18 I don't remember exactly. those are still in my garage. The best time I could achieve was 11.395 for quarter mile. The rims are too heavy compared to the CLK rims. I was not able to cut down the 60ft times. Since, my car has around 1270NM and there is a wheel spin even after warming up. As far as I know it is better to find the right size of Donuts on the CLK rims. Let's see what others recommend.
