Have you been looking at SL wheels by any chance? I've looked into that same tyre size and on my E-Class there would be a chance of rubbing.
The 285 rear tyres cost an absolute fortune, you are probably talking £250 each if you're lucky.

that's what I paid for Continental Sport Contact 3 MO a month or so ago

To put the 285 cost into perspective, my brother-in-law has just had a full set of 255/35/18 budget tyres put on his BM* for £340 by my supplier....
yeah, but when I compare the CLS tyre cost to the Boxster 19" rear tyre cost .. £344 each .. it seems cheap!

The largest tyres on the W209 CLK as standard were on the CLK55AMG, sizes were Front 7.5J - 225/40x18, Rear 8.5J - 255/35x18,
if that's any help.
The 285's on the rear are 4.6% out compared to the standard rolling circumference. 285/30x18 would be a better match, but you would need wheels 9.5 to11J, not sure the CLK has that much space under the arches.
