Question for Luke
Hi,
I want to know the fron offset for W208 CLK430 and the offset on W203 C320(NON sport).
The reason is because I got a set of wheels which was initally taken off from CLK430.
The front is 225/40/18, rear is 255/35/18.
Rear fits perfectly, however, the front rubs the suspension a little bit.
The tires are Michilin pilot sport, I don't knwo if it's the tires.
but it only barely touches the suspension.
What will be the best way to solve this, and if spacer is required,
what kind of spacer(size) should I use.
Also, do you carry the spacers.
if so, how much are they.
please let me know
thanks,
Michael

depends on the weather
both cars can run similar offsets but, the clk suspension is slightly different than the C-Class suspension and I would guess that the offset on the wheels you have is 38-42 and it really needs to be closer to 35 .... I really do not endorse the use of spacers in most cases .... but, that seems to be your only option short of getting different wheels. And remember when getting spacers you will also need long lug bolts
