No, CLS has much lower offsets than S and CL.

Harris,

Is the all around or just front? So MB and other tuners makes the wheels just for CLS?

All around.

The CLS shares the same wheel fitment as the SL.

Harris,

Any idea about the bolt size? Do you know CLS uses 12 or 14mm bolt?

Thanks in advance,
hlkc

You should have spoken to me first! No, I have not installed any wheels on a CLS yet because it has just been released a month ago. BUT, my Brabus catalog shows they use 14mm bolts on the CLS. The W211 uses 14mm as well (W211 and W219 share the same chassis).

Harris,

I thought W211 uses 12mm??? If W211 uses 14mm then I think CLS should use 14mm too. How can I find out for sure? I called the dealer and they said they don't know...

Harris,

Brabus and you are correct. Yes, It's 14mm. I just took a bolt out and bought it to a tire shop and they have a 14mm nut and screw right in.

Thanks,

In plain English, does that mean that any wheel from a SL will also fit the CLS?

No, the wheels from CL and S is not the same to the CLS.
The CLS has lower offset which gives deeper lip on a multi piece wheel.
the CLS shares the same fitment with SL
more info in www.permaisuri.com
