I'm going to buy studded winter tyres. The dealers are all offering me 18" inch wheels, but i want a bit less noise so i'm aiming for size 225/50/17.

AMG line has different looking brake discs, but are they larger in diameter than normal ones and what about the calipers?

The alloys i'm buying are german made AEZ Portofino Black. I even asked AEZ about it, but they didn't know (information not available)

Anyone here have 17" inch wheels on AMG Line version?

 

Does it not tell you in the onboard manual? Also on the filler flap are 17" tyre pressures mentioned.

 

With the correct ET and width 17" will fit


With smaller engines, C180, C220 etc. even 16"works

 

The manual displays the tyre fit information according to engine and says they will fit on C200 (which i have). But i'm not sure if that really applies to the AMG version with bigger front brakes.

On what do you base this information? Are you sure you are talking about the AMG Line version?

I have asked several dealers, The importer and even AEZ. They all basically say that they don't know.

 

ET for 17" is 48.5
I tried 16" (ET38 as per manual, Dezent TG) on my C200 but the front caliper was mili metres from wheel and the outer balancing weights actually touched the calipers.

 

This is what Mytyres say I assume 4 cylinder brake caliper is AMG line...

 

And not if OE 18 inches.

Meaning they will not fit if originals are 18 inches?

 

What I base my info on?, I have tried it of course, on all different W and S205 models, otherwise I wouldnt say it.

 

Ok cool. Do you work at a MB dealer?

If i understood correctly, the mytyres webpage says they won't fit.

I just have to try then and hope for the best. My dealer now answered and said they should fit. He was quite sure about it.

 

Yes,


If you have a C200 AMG you have the smaller size calipers and rotors, this vehicle can use 16" wheels


I have confirmed that a 16x7,5 wheel with ET45 fits


17x7 ET48 works as well.




The larger C250 and up brakes require 17x7,5 ET45 or larger

 

So only starting from C250 the AMG Line has larger brakes than normal?

I will buy AEZ Portofino Black ET48 7x17" and and tyres Goodyear Ultragrip ICE Arctic 225/50/17

 

Correct, the C250 and up uses much larger rotors and calipers,

 

AEZ Portofino Black ET48 7x17 have been tested in my car (C200 AMG Line) and the dealer confirms that they fit.

 

Resurrecting this thread to see if anyone else has fitted 17” wheels over then OEM brakes on the sports model? I just got a c350e with the 18s and while fine would prefer a cushier ride and square setup

according to this site at least: many of the staggered and square 17s will fit

thanks!

 

After a bit more research, taking a few different Wheels' part numbers. I found that most online sites confirm that these 17" ET48.5 wheels do fit the C350e Sport that I assume has the same brakes as C300 Sports.

They don't however fit cars w/ 486 (sport suspension) - https://www.kunzmann.de/shop/en/tire...ium-silver.htm

The C350e I have has the following
483 AIRMATIC Dynamic Handling Package
489 Air Suspension

I think I'll take the chances and get a set and put on some Michelin Energy Savers and get some more MPGs from the PHEV 205... now onto which style...
