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.

Officially he says they are too wide... but if you take responsibility, it might work for you.-s-

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.

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.
