Thanks so much for responding. I don't know much about this yet... How do I know that it's the correct offset? The sales guy said the width would be about 8.5" for the back and 8" for the front. He said I'd have a staggered setup.

Wow, what a pretty car. Iwould say, the wheels are ok if you only drive the car on the week ends. If you drive your car every day to college or work, the roads will tear the wheels and tires down very quickly.
I'm so busy, my engine never cools down, so 19's would be a poor choice for me. My Clk is a family workhorse; We drive it to work, school, grocery store....and I actually keep maintenence and repair parts here in-stock to keep her rolling. We consider it to be a general-purpose vehicle like the lawn tractor, chipper, or weed eater.

Ohhhh I see. That makes alot of sense. Boy oh boy......I certainly do not want to go through sets of tires too quickly. Perhaps I'll just stay with 17s or so. Thank you for your reply!
