C63 wheels on a 96 W210

Looking to fit these, if possible...
Based on reading a bunch of threads and articles, I think it can fit. Anyone have experience fitting these?

C63 wheels from a 2010 C63. 18x8 ET45 F / 18x9 ET54 R




My current stock 16" W210 wheels 16X7.5 ET41 all around

Based on info from http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/inf.../mercedes-benz, it says I need a ET31 in the front and ET35 in the rear


So I will need 15mm spacers front and 20mm spacers for the rear.
I will also need to check http://otisincla.com/index.php?route=common/home for custom lug bolts with an R14 ball seat and 12m bolt. Not sure how to measure what length I need though.
The car is not lowered.

Any advice would be much appreciated! Yes, I do realize getting wheels with the correct offset will be easier.

you pull your current rim off the car. drop one of your lug bolts into the lug
hole and measure the threaded shank exposed out the back. this is the same
length required with your C63 rims.

so now you work backwards. measure the cross section of the C63 rims from
bottom of the ball seat, through the wheel and flush with the surface of the
back face of the rim (the face which is against the hub). add the length you
measured above (from your standard, 210 rim).

now add the width of the spacer. the total of all three is the length of the OTIS
hybrid bolt needed.

you can also speak with Phil @ Otis on the chance he's already familiar with the
length needed
