Hello Luke.
My name is Khalid, I was wondering if you could give me some insights on wheel measurements. My aim is to have them fit right on,with no need for spacers etc.

I am getting custom wheels (rims) for my CLS 55 and was wondering if you guys could just double check to see that all the measurements were right if possible, before i can order the tires?

Front Rim size:

9" x 19" , Offset 26mm (rim comes out 5mm, compared to stock 8,5" x 18" ET 25), calliper clearance 47mm

Rear Rim size:

11" x 19" , Offset 32mm (rim comes out 15mm compared to stock 9,5" x 18" ET 28), calliper clearance 27mm

Thanks

tires I am aiming for will be similar to the setup below, If my specs are all right
19x9 front 265 30 19
19x11 rear 305 30 19

Thanks
Khalid

the specs you posted will fit the car but, is a very aggressive application and will most likely require some additional fender work to avoid rubbing

thanks for the reply!

the aim was to get it all done so i do not rub, my car is not lowered.
Which bit is to aggressive?

and do you offer PS2's in these sizes?

Thanks

Luke is right.

I have seen the following work.
19 - 10.5 +32 rear OR
20 - 11.0 +36

They have no rubbing issues on stock suspension.

i don't think the 305 will fit withour rubbing.
Something like 295 or even 285 should fit.

I hope this helps.
