Will 2005 MB "Sport" wheels fit my 2002 C32?

I have a lead on a nice set of factory 2005 MB "Sport" wheels with like new Pirelli Pzero Nero M&S tires on them. They are the "Funnel 5-spoke" (see pic below) staggered set with the same size front and rear wheels and tires that I currently have on my C32 (17x7.5 wheels, 225-45 tires front and 17x8.5 wheels, 245-40 tires rear). Living in Michigan, the Michelin Sports I currently have on my stock AMG wheels are absolutely scary and worthless whenever I get caught in snow.

My question is: Will these "Sport" wheels work on my stock C32? I know the bolt pattern, diameter and widths are the same, but what about the offset and most importantly - front brake caliper clearance?

Thanks for your help!

Why don't you try to find the 2007 one? They look a lot nicer, IMO.

They will fit as the C230k cars had the same basic caliper for the 2004.5 and EARLY 2005 production runs.

If you want some sort of AMG wheels I have a half worn set of AMG Style III (5 spoke) wheels that came off my car a bit ago. The wheels have a half worn set of PS2's on them now and the wheels are in almost perfect shape.

I would go for amg wheels on and AMG car but that is just me.

If you want them let me know.
