'02 CLK430 CABRIOLET
Will these fit? 18x8.5 & 9.5 AMG WHEELS
I have a friend that has an extra set of the AMG 5 spoke wheels that are 18 x 8.5 w/ 255-40's and 18 x 9.5 w/ 285-35's. Does anyone know if these will fit on the CLK430? The wheels are off of a '03 SL55 if that helps.

Thanks.

They will not fit. The offsets of the wheels are incorrect which will cause the wheels to stick out and the tires are much to large for your vehicle as well.

No they will not fit.

Not only are the offsets incorrect, the tire sizes are way too wide. The correct tire size for an 18-inch rim on a W208 CLK 430 are:

225/40/18 FRONT (18x8)

255/35/18 REAR (18x9)

I have this set up with AMG wheels on my CLK 430. I am running Goodyear Eagle F-1 tires, which are fantastic.

Are you running the AMG wheels off of a S class?

I'm going to run these wheels with 255/35/18 up front and 285/30/18 rear on my 16v project car. Lots of cutting and rolling .

Aside from Lug and tire sizes. Is the offset of these wheels correct for their size? et33 in the front and et30 in the rear?

Sorry for the late response! No I am not. I have 18" Monoblocks that were made to fit the CLK. I bought them new.
