I have a 2000 CLK convertable. The current alloy wheels are from RC Design in Germany and are the RC D4 model in 18 X 8J. Two have an offset of ET35 and two have ET45

Which wheels ought to go on the front and which ones on the rear ????
 
As suggested ET45 does not seem right for a CLK - more of an S / CL fitting.

Anyhow - if you already have these wheels I suggest putting the ET35 on the front and the ET45 on the back but with a 10 mm spacer at the back.

This will mean that you are effectively bringing the wheel back into measurement as if you had a ET35 wheel at the rear as well.

Eibach do the proper spacers about £40 I think for a set of two.. - you may or may not need extra wheel bolts at the back if you put the spacers in - these can be bought from many places so a seatch on this forum or Google it !
