PS
I would rather not roll the fenders.. but if i have to do you think a mechanic could see that they are rolled.. cause its a company lease car and im not supposed to change anything on it.. that i cant change back..
Or is there any kind of possibility that it could work..without any mods??
by the way thnx for the help..

A box on 4 wheels
I would sell the current ones you have or trade em with a current forum member to get a 18" with smaller Dimensions. Most 18"s would do fine on your C-class, there shouldnt be any rubbing.

Well first find the offset of the wheels. I mean if the offset is way too far off you're better off not even dealing with all the problem such as spacers, rolling fenders, etc.

I am not sure about the newer Cs but the diameter of the lug nuts on the W220 is larger than on the W203. Some guy on another forum trying to do the same thing has made some custom sleeves to make up the 2 mm difference...but I think this is a very unsafe fix and would certainly not recommend doing this to anyone.
Your best bet is to sell/trade them in and get the correct wheel set for the W203.

I dont mid if they stick out a bit..
ohh and about rollling fenders is it possible for a MB rep to see that they have been rolled..
PS
When you say that there can be a risk or danger.. what do you mean.. could the wheel fall off

I was going to put 19" AMGs suitable for a w220 on my W203. I was going to get custom lug nuts made but everyone I spoke to said it was not a good idea...so I just put them on my W220.
If you are saving them for an SL, then just store them...its not as if you have no other choice but to put them on your C!

'08 C300 Lux Barolo Red Beige Leather P2 MM 18" wheels '84 944
W220 wheels on W203?
I'm using 17" AMG monoblocks from a C36 on my '01 C320 and the rear wheel offset is 30mm (ET30) while the front wheels are 35mm (ET35) which is 2mm off from stock which makes no difference. The offsets of the W220 which are too far off to be used even if the hubs and bolt circles are the same which they apparently are not. And don't ignore the fact that MB wheels are hub centered which means the center of the wheels must fit tightly over the protruding center of the hub. The wheel bolts keep the wheel on the hub and do not support the weight of the car.
You can't use 'em.
