New to Mercs. My 2005 CLK cab W209? has 17" elegance Borbett alloys with wider rears. They are not stamped with the two rim sizes or offsets? From the fitment lists I would guess they could be
Front 7.5 x17 30 offset? 225 tyres
Rear 8.5 X 17 37 offset? 245 tyres
Car has standard calipers and 300mm discs and not sport spec which came later. I'd prefer a more sporty looking AMG style wheels possibly going to 18"? I think 19" would screw up the Speedo and ride?
Now of the more sporty modern wheels which will go straight on from other Merc models as few sellers actually list the wheel offsets when selling? It just more useful to know standard fit model wheels and type than trawling lists of wheel fitments. Ideally I don't want to upset the cars dynamics but want it to look more sporty. Cheers.
