Hey Luke, your assistance is needed brotha!!!!!!!!!

I know this question has been beaten, but I need your help, I did search the forum but I havent gotten a straight answer.

I have a 2004 CLK500 and I'm interested in either the ASA ST3's OR ST4's in a 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 staggered fitment with 265/30 and 235/35 tires. I plan on dropping it on H&R springs or H&R Cup Kit, and cutting half coils on each spring.

Now, my question is this. I have been told that these wheels will not clear my front brakes. What offset would you suggest I use on all 4 wheels and what size spacers should I use up front and in the rear so that these wheels will work. Tbanks!! I know it's not too safe but I want a clear answer, havent found one yet. Thanks buddy!!!!

depends on the weather
actually I did a littel investigation on those wheels and why they will not fit your car .... the front center hub protudes so far out the center caps will not go on ....

and cutting coils is a bad idea

So would i need hubcentric spacers or normal wheel spacers up front? Is the rear fitment okay?

depends on the weather
the spacer would have to be 12 - 15 millemeters and that would make the wheel stick out past the fender
