dronellis... 1st of all it's auto culture... 2nd... the bolt pattern on all mercedes is 5x112... 3rd... i sold those 20's to an s class... 4th... the 20's fit in the back snuggly but not in the front b/c the stock strut has a cup which hold the bottom of the spring, just like every other Macpherson strut, the 20 with the tire hit that cup on the strut and wouldn't let you even bolt the rim on... and the reason that black c class was able to fit 20's was b/c they put a coilover suspension which is designed a little different than the stock struts, otherwise allowing a 20 inch wheel to fit

Yo, man, the overall diameter is different between the C and the ML. You should read about plus sizing on wheels.
