In addition, are the offsets and spacers the same for the E class and the CLK? Thanks in advance

Depends, does your CLK have a factory sports package? If so they should come "pre-rolled" by Mercedes. If not then YES, roll them, you don't want your tires cut up by the fender or worse, your fender buckling.

really? i wasn't aware that they had pre-rolled fenders. i have a clk430 with the amg kit and wheels on it. i got my car used, so i'm not sure exactly what the sports package entails....it has the K3 and K4 options....is there a way i can tell? thanks

Dman, If you CLK has the Sports package then it is pre-rolled. the way you can tell is by running your fingers right along the edge of the inner fender, if you can feel the extra metal curved close to the fender instead of sticking out at 90 degree angle then yes you have them pre rolled. But it depends on where you install your wheels, some shops want to totally flatten that piece of inner fender to the outer, so you get maybe and extra 1cm of space. 19x10 is a pretty big rim for a CLK but i think you can get away with the factory pre-rolled fender. Post pics when you get them installed, ive never seen 19" 2/5's on a CLK.

For that wheel, yes.

Next time I come across a CLK I will run my fingers to check the fender lip. AMG models have the fenders rolled and the CLK430 with the sport package never goes to AMG in Affalterbach. I would be surprised if the CLK430 fenders are rolled at the regular factory.

Kev, the reason why i say that a sports package has a rolled fender is because i had an SLK 230 Sport and the fenders were rolled, not to the max, but enough for an 18" wheel setup.
