18 in tire fitment on W209 CLK55 what is the biggest you can go?
Just got a set of 18x9 front and 18x10 HREs for my 03 CLK55 what is the largest tire combo people have run without rubbing lowered and not lowered. I was thinking:
245/40/18 Front and 275/35/18 rear
or
225/40/18 Front and 255/35/18 rear
or
235/40/18 Front and 265/35/18 rear?

Thanks
Justin Falla

PS also looking to go with H&R lowering springs and Bilsteins shocks.

225/40/18 Front and 255/35/18 rear would be correct

Luke what could you run for the next size up that would work since the rims in the rear are 10in i kind of want a lip protector and i hate the look of tires stretched.

Thanks
Justin
