CLK55 AMG Cabriolet-Capri Blue
Changing from 18x8.5 & 18x9.5 to 18x8 & 18x9

Hi guys-ADVISE please?!?!??,

my '05 CLK 55 comes with 18x8.5 Front and 18x9.5 rear

I am changing to aftermarket wheels, but the ones I like only come with 18x8 and 18x9. How is this going to effect my ride? Can I use same tires as it came with (225/40/18 and 255/35/18)? What would be the best fit tires if not? My car is not lowered or altered in any other way.

MAke sure the offsets are correct.

Capri Blue is a nice color!
