does anyone know what wheels these are. I bought these and apparently they were on a 2003 or something CLK

tire sizes:
225/40/18 8.5 width with 35mm offset ( yes I do need 3mm spacers)

the rears were...255/ 40/18 9.5 width. they have a 40MM offset( Im running on 5mm spacers on the rear) Now im running 225/35/18 bridgestones

**current C43 body kit is off car for repairs/ sale**

JW what car they normally go on and whats the name of the wheel itself?

I was thinking these sizes would originally be on a CLS or SL...Idk if they really would fit on a CLK without spacers, I think its the same offset as the w202, I could be wrong tho.

It seems like they are very rare...
I would like to know how much they are worth with no tires

Your back tire size will throw off your cruise control. FYI.

BTW i saw your car on Cardomain. I dont want to get off topic here but how do you like your new headlights( i think they were the ebay ones that were all one assembly and black)...also any issues with the pins, I know your in Canada, but I think you may have the same 4 pin harness as the US Versions. fitment issues? quality?

255/35/18 is alot different than 255/40/18.

If you do have 255/40/18's, you'll have cruise control and possibly speedometer problems.

yea, i know, i have 4 255/35/18 waiting to be mounted, two are extras....the 255 40/ 18 are mounted now, but only have them for test fitment purposes because i haven't gotten a chance to mount the proper size yet, i had a few problems, but they are resolved now. tires on there are bald anyway and said the size was 255/40/18 because i would like to find out what model of Mercedes they were really off of.

I love my black housing 1 piece projectors!.. they look awesome. I had to change the pin housings to a 6 pin connector I think it was.. I cant remember now.. but I did have to change the pin housings. other then that no issues.
the fitment isnt 100%.. but they look decent.. they could fit better where the corner lights to fender would be.. but other then that no complaints.
