Won't fit without spacers. Highest offset you want is +38. You'll need at least 10mm in front and 15mm in rear.

In addition to the size issue, don't you think those wheels are a bit too straight-edged for the w203 body? I would suggest you get a set of 2005 17" sport wheels, and if you prefer the angular look, I think they sharpened them up for 2006.

its for the wheels you put specs on. for the 18s to fit you'll want 10mm spacers in front to push the offset to +38 and 15mm in rear to push to +39 or get 20mm and push them to +34. also you'll need to get longer lug bolts. so you have to do the calculation of our stock shaft length plus the spacer length to get the new lug bolt size. you'll also have to see what ball seat size the new wheels are since they are mb factory wheels. it can be a R12 or R14 ball seat.

to get the length of the new bolt is easy

stock shaft length + spacer length = new bolt shaft length

our stock shaft length is 39.9mm or 40mm so

40mm + 10mm (front) = 50mm lug bolts you'll need for the front
youll just have to look up the ball seat size or call the dealer and ask or call radusadirect.com and talk to them, thats where most get their new lug bolts from.

I know I'm about to get a bunch of STFF's which I have with no solid answers. So if I want to run 18's What specs for the wheel and tire do I need to make them fit without spacers? Also I do plan on lowering the car but I'm unsure of what springs and struts/shocks I'm going to run

The wheel and tire thread has all your answers. It all depends on the width if the wheels and the look you're going for. For tires you can't do more than 235 in front and 265 in rear.
