Ha, I couldn't get a straight answer before I went, but now there's 20+ replies.
The wheels are
17 x 7.5 E37 front
17 x 8.5 E30 Rear
They fit fine, and look pretty good.
I wasn't looking to get a set of wheels, I just wanted 2 C7 wheels, but
after 3 weeks of driving on bent rims and no luck I bought these
Yes, I have AMG BBK and CO's, and they fit perfect.
Even was able to use the same bolts.
The rears are tucked, a spacer would accentuate the stagger.
They have PS2's on them, and ride and drive very nice.
Lucky catch from craigslit!
The only bad thing is if I get a flat on the front, there is no wheel that will fit
(due to C32 brakes spare won't fit, and with 8.5 on the back, I can't move to front), unless I drive around with an extra full sized rim in all the time.
I'll have to get a can of fix a flat, but that sh_it causes the tread to seperate.

Dood, I told you it would fit. I have the EXACT setup you have. My suspension is a H&R Cup Kit.

This photo is deceptive because there is a decline, so the car is sitting high on the passenger side.
If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay?

Ed, the difference between your setup and his is that he has coilovers. As he goes lower in the front, his tire gets closer to the larger coils. I think stock C7's have an offset of 35ET and my tires were uncomfortably close to the coils when I had my TEIN Basics installed. Then I got the B's (35ET) with 5mm spacers up front (effectively 30ET now), so now I have plenty of clearance.

so I'm looking at putting a CLK rim on my rear passenger side- just one b/c the old rim's cracked. Will the offset of 30 vs. 34 on the c230 make a difference since the other rear rim will not be replaced???
