Clk W208 Tyres

[steadyeddie]

I need 4 new tyres but would like to fit slightly wider tyres on the rear. I currently have 205/55/16 all round.

Would anyone be able to tell me what size will fit on the rear without causing any problems?

Thanks

Ed

You need to say what size wheels you have fitted e.g. 7j x 16 and also what the offset is, as this will establish what widths and profiles can be used.

To keep the correct rolling road circumference I would go 225/50/16.

As per AJA

CLK owners manual recommends 205/55/16 on the front and 225/50/16 on the rear assuming rear wheels are 8J which it should be . I'd be surprised if you have 7J all round.

Had a set of 205/55/16 on the front and 225/50/16 on the back fitted today. It feels like I'm driving a different car! No more vibration coming through the steering wheel, much quieter and far more grip! I'm a happy chappy!
