They fit perfectly. Couldn't ask for better. 17" is just right for the Sport Coupé. 18" will work too, but you loose quite a bit on ride comfort, and prone to too much possible wheel damage.
Brake clearance is optimal. These are AMG wheels, using an AMG brake system. No spacers required. No rolling fenders. No rubbing issues.

I know that a Mercedes is a lot to ask for when you are 17 years old but i got a job so i would be able to buy myself things that i really want. I have been working for 3.5 years already and a being able to buy myself a nice car is one of the main reasons why. I am aware that buying a mercedes is a foolish thing to do unless you have a decent/steady job because of the maintenence and all but if i was able to find a nice 02 c coupe for a reasonable price of around 15-16k, wouldnt you think that is a good deal rather than buying a scion tC or another jap car?
I apologize once again,

that's was great about this forum. there are sooo many helpful people who can give good quality advice. sometimes they may disagree but it's just their IMOs. In return, you can give others feedback/input. at 17 yrs old and already working for 3.5yrs, sounds like you're responsible in making a big purchase such as buying a car. the bottom line is that you'll have to crunch the numbers to come up with a price point which you can afford. take into consideration all the usual maintainance and unexpected problems that may arise too. do your research on various vehicles and get input from others. buy a mercedes because you believe in the quality of the vehicle and not just the name. good luck in your decision!
