Need help in regards to purchase of Brabus wheels...
I'm looking at a set of Brabus Style VI wheels with 35mm offset that came from a C32. The wheels have 225/40's up front, and 255/35's in the rear. Will these wheels fit my 209 CLK55? What about the tire sizes. If you do the math, you'll see that the rear tires are slightly smaller in diameter. Is this a tolerable enough discrepancy? I know that it is there is the same size discrepancy with the stockers, so I assume that's all ok. Ideally, I would like to go up to 245's in the front, and 265's in the rear, but I'm not sure if there's an aspect ratio that will work for those sizes, and that they just may be too tall to fit (Unless I mount some insane 25 series profile, or something like that. Anyway, I appreciate anyones and everyones help with this matter. Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Matt

The wheels from the C32 will fit the CLK55 perfectly. 225/255 combo is what Brabus suggests. If you want to go slightly wider tires, the proper sizes should be 235/40/18 and 265/35/18. 245 might rub the front struts.
