1999 CLK320 wheel fitment

how much wheel gap would there be in the fenders with 18x8.5 ET32 and 18x9.5 ET35?

-would mount 225/40 and 255/35

how much wheel gap would there be in the fenders with 19x8.5 ET32 and 19x9.5 ET35?

-would mount 225/35 and 255/30

what width and offset wheels and tires would i need with 18s and 19s to be flush with stock/unrolled fenders?

I am leaning towards 18s for ride quality/performance and tire cost.

I'm on 18's 8.5 and 9.5 35mm offset both ends.

No problems running 265 in the rear.





One of these days I'll take pics that are more illustrative.... oh.. and lower my car too... one thing at a time.. on thing at a time.

if you don't lower you car, your gap is going to be huge.

Without going w/ a custom, multipiece wheel and custom offsets, you will not be able to achieve a "flush w/ fender" look W/O using spacers.
