275/30/19 nitto for CLK

I just got my car back from the tire shop, and these things are rubbing like hell. Does anyone else have 275's on the rear of their clk? I supposed I need to have the fenders rolled? My sidewalls are cut up, I am very pissed off.

P.S. I got the wheels from Luke. Officially he says they are too wide... but if you take responsibility, it might work for you.

You are VERY lucky if you are not rubbing with 275s. I had to pully my fenders an inch to fit them! Ultimately, it depends on wheel/tire brand/size and ultimately driving styles.

Well, I started with a CLK55... which may have more room.

Also, alignment of the rear wheels makes a difference many people do not realize.

Finally, although a wheel may be spec'd as a certain offset, it can be several millimeters one way or the other. I've found many wheels advertised/stamped ET35 that ranged from ET31 to ET39.
