Im running the 19"s off the CL 600..... The wheels came with spacers and longer bolts... I have not had a problem with them.. Just run 235's on the front 245's rub a little... but then again mine has a 1.5" drop.

All in all i love the look... however on some car the Cruise will not work over 70mph.... at leaston mine it will not.

anyway im running 235 front and 265 rear.

So does that mean there is no way i can make it fit?

Even if I get spacers and different bolt?

By the way what is the offset on the CL55 AMG wheels?

Thanks

Kerr, how did you get 14mm lugbolts to fit inside the 12mm holes on your brake rotor? Or are you using the 12mm lugbolts in the 14mm wheel holes which may cause the bolts to loosen up?

I can make a windshield wiper fit my dog's butt but, that doesn't make it right

12mm bolts have a 12mm radius ball seat

14mm bolts have a 14mm radius ball seat

there are no 12mm bolts with a 14mm radius seat

Thanks for all the help.
