Hello all,

Will these fit, or will i need a spacer??

18"x8.5" fronts, and 18"x9.5" rears
ET=25/front, 23/rear(mm)offset

Tires are:
245/40/ZR18 fronts, and 275/35/ZR18 rears

Now I know it should be 235/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear, but will this work? Also, is that the right height for an 18" wheel? (40 & 35)

Thanks,
Joe


These are the wheels in question:
'01 CLK 320

Depends what you mean by "fit".

Bolt them on, and they stick out a bit, and rub. But...

Properly, they do not fit. No spacer will help because the wheel is already sticking out too far. Spacers just make it worse. A spacer makes up for a high offset wheel (e.g. ET48) to a low offset application (e.g. ET25), not for a low offset wheel to a high offset application.
