Luke, ASA ST4 Question...

I have a CLK500, and Im reading that the 19" ASA staggered rims will not clear the front brakes, is there anyway i can use spacers and if so, what size will clear the brakes so that I may use these wheels. Thanks and sorry for all the the questions!

Luke, maybe you can answer that question and mine at the same time...I recently bought a set of 17 x 8 ASA ST4's for my 2005 C230 Sedan and they don't fit over the front bbk. What size/type of spacer do you recommend?
Thanks.

depends on the weather
what size bbk? ...... we typically will not recommend a spacer unless it is TUV approved and/or designed for a specific application

sorry not to specify Luke, I'm just talking about the stock brakes but as you know they are the bigger on the 2005.

Debadged 6-Speed '05 C320 Sports Coupe
A set of four ASA ST4 wheels with Blizzak LM-25 tires was used all winter on my '05 C320 Sports Coupe without fit problems. I was very happy with this setup.

wingless, thanks for the info, but your car doesn't have the bigger front brakes of the sport sedans.
