C kL@Sse, attempting to drive your car with those wheels on it is dangerous. Those wheels require a bolt with a 14mm radius hemisperical surface. Your car uses 12mm bolts. Those bolts won't provide enough clamping force and will quickly loosen. That results in damage to the bolts and wheels, which may lead to the wheels falling off the car.
And there is no chance that a 9" wheel will work on the front.

But the wheels require 14mm bolts is not true. All Carlsson, Brabus, Lorinser wheels have only one measurement for the bolts. IF the offsets between the S and the C are the same, they will be interchangable AS LONG AS you use the respective bolts, i.e. 12mm for the C and 14mm for the S.
