CLK55 Rim Questions. PLEASE HELP!!

MojoCLK · 09-18-2004, 03:37 AM

I recently just bought a set of Lorinser LM-5 Chrome Rims with ContiSport Contact tires 245/35ZR20. I currently own a CL500 and am planning to get a CLK55 this week.

1.I want to put these rims on my new car,but dont know if they'll fit or not? 2.What do I have to do to make them fit the car?
3.Will it ruin the ride?

I got these rims at a hell of a deal and dont want to get rid of them. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sorry but I cannot answer your specific questions. My interest lies in the wheels coming off of you new CLK 55. If you are interested in selling them please reply to this post, PM me or e-mail robcalisi@rogers.com . If the price is right I'd be interested in them. Thanks.

i dont think the 245s will fit on the front but we need more details, offset, width, etc...

I am by no means a wheel expert, that being said I tried in vain to have anyone put 20's on my CLK they all said the biggest you can go without fender rolling etc. is 19 x 8.5 front 19 x 9.5 possibly 10 with some rubbing issues. So IMO I would say you may need to drop down to 19's

Well, everyone thanks for the advice...I have decided to stay w/ my CL 500 instead. I was debating between the two. Im about to put 20's on that. It has a better ride

If you got them for a hell of a deal, you might be able to sell them and make some profit.
