C300 With Sports Package - Wheel size
Will 17" standard wheel from the C300 fit on the Sports Package option ? Does it need 18" to clear the bigger brakes ? I am looking to buy new wheels for the winter next year. So I will focus my research better for used OEM C300 wheels.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I don't remember the exact size of the front calipers, but if memory serves me well, 17 inch wheels simply won't fit. There is no more than 1-2 cm of clarence between the highest point of the caliper and the rim.
But you can remove the wheel and just measure the caliper dimensions to be sure.
P.S. Seems like Tire Rack believes some 17 inch will fit. But I'm not entirely convinced by this. Hope this helps.

I believe you need the 18" wheels to clear the brakes. I am currently looking at getting new wheels and have a set of AMG 5 spoke with almost brand new conti pro contacts that I would sell super cheap. Pm me if you are interested.
