Hello everyone,
I wanted to report back that I purchased a rim and tire that was reportedly from a 2002 CLK320. I paid $70.00 plus $40.00 shipping. I also purchased the shorter lugs from ECS Tuning for $17.00 including shipping. The tire fits perfectly on the car, with no rubbing on the inner fender well, lock to lock. I have enclosed some photos. Thanks for all the advice.
John
