a stock clk55 will have the same AMG wheels as your car.. Or it might have a similar but diffrent style wheel. They are however the same size.

Find out what the size the wheels are (width, height, and offset). The tires would probably fit as well if it was from a W208 CLK55.Originally posted by svt ricco

A W202 has some of the smallest wheel space of any mercedes. It's usually safe to stay between ET32 and ET37 offset with 225 tires up front and 255 tires in the rear.
I recommend Eibach springs and Koni shocks if you plan to lower it; offers the most compliant ride, and sporty feel, but make sure you grab #1 spring pads from the dealership for all 4 corners before you lower it. I made the mistake of dropping the W208 without the pads, and it turned out to have #5s up front and #4 in the rear. I basically have to do it all over again.
Well then perhaps it's different in different countries, cos here every single W208 CLK55 i've ever seen has 18sOriginally posted by jnolte
