Luke,
Will the 11" fit the back of the CLK63 Black Series?
And will the 10" fit the front?

OK Guys,
I tried the 10" wheel on the front and it interferes on the inside with the strut.
And the face of this wheel is already flush with the outside face of the fender, so I don't think a spacer will work..![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)
It's a great fit on the rear though.

depends on the weather
well I was finally able to get the information
front
19x10 is about 6mm into the front damper.
rear
19x11 is about 3mm into the rear suspension.
The outer lip flanges line right up with the O.E. wheels on both but there is less than 12mm of outside clearance to the fender lips up front and 13mm on the rear. It’s already very, very tight on this car.
so, a 10 millimeter spacer would be needed for the front and there would only be 2 millimeters clearance. The rear fitment would be a little easier with a 5 millimeter spacer there would be slightly more than 1/4" clearance
still too tight in my opinion

Luke,
With the OZ 9" Front and 10" Rear what R rubber will work?
I was looking at Pilot Sport 265-35-19 Front & 305-30-19 Rear.
Is there anything better to use for track tires?

Luke,
The OZ's have a very nice look, could these wheels also work on a 2006 C55.?

Here's a teaser pic! I picked them up at the body shop today to have them balanced (I had the tires mounted b/f they painted them). They were beautiful! While at the tire shop, one of the guys in the back disconnected an air hose from an impact wrench and just let it go and guess what?????? That's right, smack! It hit the lip on one of my freshly painted front wheels!!! I coulda choked the guy. Ironic thing was, this same tire shop damaged a 74 0il with an air hose about 10 years ago... Sooooo, back to the body shop I go to have it repaired! I pick it up and tomorrow and we'll give balancing another try.....
Anyway, I painted the rotor hats on the two rear wheels and mounted them tonight....

Hi Chuck, do you mind posting the specs for your wheels too? like to know what offsets you used and if you don't mind, can you post pics of how flush the wheels are with the flares of the wheel well? I like mine to sit flush and my worry is that the front's may not sit flush but may require spacers. Thanks! Can't wait to see your pics!
