Swapping E Class AMG 18" rims to C class 17" stock rims

Hi everybody. Newbie here. I would just like to ask if anybody knows if it is possible to interchange wheels from my E Class 2010 (AMG rims 18") into my C class 2013 (17" rims stock). Any fitment issue? Please help, I wanted to set up my C Class same as with others having here. I know this is the right place to ask..

Welcome to the forums!
Can you tell us the specs on the E Class wheels? width, diameter and offset? The 5/112 bolt pattern will allow them to be bolted on but offset may be the sticking point.
Of note: "Mag" wheels are the old hot rodders magnesium wheels....very light, kinda brittle, almost never seen any more....and "Rims" are the outside portion of the wheel....

Your E class 18" AMG style wheels
Front : 18x8" ET45
Rear : 18x8.5" ET49


For C class 18" AMG style wheels
Front : 18x8" ET50
Rear : 18x8.5" ET54

F & R: +5mm clearance from strut and +5mm extension outward

Therefore, no issue at all.

Thanks for your advice. Is it also okay to put the stock C class 17" rims to E class?

Thanks Matt. You have a nice mods and clean ride. We have the same polar white color, and I would probably do the same in my C.

They do not have enough offset, your C class rims are about 48 fnt and 55 rear the rims you have will be sticking out 10+ mm fnt and 25mm rear . They will probably rub the fenders and not look correct for the car. Also the tire sizes are + size over stock so they will be taller.

You can get away with 45 off set all around in 17-18-19" rims and 7.5-8.5 wide but IMO the rear look better with a little more offset 48 -55 in the rear. With the tires in 18" to maintain stock profile you need 225-40-18 and a 255-35-18 rear or a 265-35-18 rear to fit.

No way. If you have too much offset you can add spacers to move the wheel out but if you have too little offset (your case) you can not move them in to the wheel well. Your rear wheels are 25 mm out that is almost 1" that is a lot and will rub. Especially if you add those taller tires, it will also slow acceleration and throw off the speedo

The C Class W 204 need a lot more offset than most cars . Most of the 30 -40 off set wheels are set up for Front Wheel drive cars
