Luke: Correct tire size?
My car is a 2001 CLK430.
Okay I bought 18" wheels.
The front wheels are 18x8.5, Offset: 35.
The rears are 18x9.5, Offset: 35.
Will 225/40ZR18 for front and 255/35ZR18 for the rear fit my car?
Do I have the correct offset?
Thanks.

Tire Size
Both the MB dealership and the wheels shop I went to recommended that I dont do a staggered set since I have a 2003 C240 4MATIC. I was planning on getting the Mandrus Millenium 18 x 8.5 in the front with a 1" lip and then 18 x 9.5 in the rear with a 3" lip.
Is it true that I should just get the 18 x 8.5 all around? Man those 3" lip in the back looks so good.
Also is 225/40/18 the best fit? Can I go 225/45/18 without hitting my fender or parts of the springs? I just want a smooth, low noise ride while the wheels looks good. Thanks to you all!!! Love this forum. Hopefully this is the right place to post this!

depends on the weather
Hey Luke ive messaged you a few times already through the forum's emai-you option and i havent gotten a response yet. I figure the emails just arent getting to you so ill try here instead. Im looking to get a set of rims off of tire racks website. Theyre the SSR GT3 rims - i have a c240 2003 NOT 4matic and i wanted to get 18x8.5 front and 18x9s in the back however the special is only for the 18x9s - so i guess i have two options either get 18x9s all around for the special price (but will this cause rubbing issues?) or try to ask for a possible discount on the 18x8.5s. Please if you could get back to me as soon as possible, it would be greatly appreciated as i would like to order these wheels by the end of the week.
