E 55 Rims on 2002 CLK 430

I have a general question. A friend of mine has stock 18" AMG Monoblock rims that came with his E 55 AMG. Will these fit on my 2002 CLK 430 with no problem? Any information would be great. Thanks

W210 or W211 E55,
W208 or W209 CLK?

W211 uses 14mm lugs, there is a discussion on the lug issues at

i believe he referred to the arrival of the E55 AMG in past tense, so i believe he means pre 2003 model. And also he referred to the CLK as 2002 CLK 430, which is not made anymore in the 209 shape... the model is self explanatory.. 2002.

The answer... YES IT WILL FIT!

18 inch Monoblocks are 8x18 front and 9x18 rear. I've got AMG SL wheels on my W208 CLK320 and it fits just fine!

Have a look...

Nice car Ahmed. Did you have to put on spacers to fit those wheels on your car?

no spacers

also.. my tire sizes are as follows:

front 235/40ZR18
Rear 265/35ZR18

luke... the E55's we get imported here come with the same setup as mine standard. I mean they got 235 in the front and 265's in the back, not 275. 275's and 285's come on the S klass.
