Can I fit 16" wheels/tires on 2007 C230 Sport?
I want to get the smallest wheels possible for snow tires for our 2007 C230 sport. Tirerack doesn't offer anything in 16" or smaller; but would 205/55/16 snow tires on 16x7 wheels fit?

Thanks!

Jogger is correct - I have an 07 C230ss with the big brakes and 17''s are required.


search your regional craigslist.

ahhh thanks.. i was hoping for MAXIMAL winter traction, therefore 16" Blizzak WS60s. I hope 17inch Blizzaks aren't too bad.
