A good machine shop should be able to hone out those hub bores to fit your C300.

Make sure the center caps fit. Our hubs also stick out a lot.

You still need to drill to 66.5 or the wheel won't slide on the hub. If the wheel and hub are the exact same bore, the wheel is not going to slide on. Sounds funny but you can put two circles of the same into another. One has to be a little bigger.

So is it 66.4? 66.6 (66.56) hub centric rings feel loose, 66.1 (66.06) won't fit and there is no size available in between...

I ended up getting a set of 66.1 (66.06) and working on them with a sand paper until they fit.

If the ones you have fit snug, what's the problem?

Are those plastic?

Try these http://www.ebay.com/itm/230477064802
If they feel loose, do what I did, get these http://www.ebay.com/itm/230477089714 and work on them with a sand paper...

DiscounTire have the same rings for $15 with free shipping, but you have to call to order
