questions with rim fitment sl55 on c32

I was wondering if its fine to put some sl55 amg rims on a c32 amg.
the c32 is 225 in front and 245 in rear stock.

I would like to know if its okay to put some 255's in the front and 285's in the rear?

Tires definitely a no-can-do.

Rims have to take a look at the offset.

SL65 rims look alike

Since we're talking about rims and I don't want to start a new thread, has anyone tried these SL65 look alike? 19x8 + 19x9.5, and they fit C32 & C55.
For $162 & $172 each, I think they're not bad.

I believe those will fit. TSW Bremmas are also SL65 reps and they fit perfectly, no spacers.

I'm sure they'll fit. Actually I was just wondering what the finishes looked like.
TSW bremmas aren't exactly SL65 reps since the spokes aren't in gunmetal.

they had both gunmetal and satin, although gunmetal was standard. Bremmas also have the lip for the rear fitment

depends on which set of SL55 wheel it is. the one piece dual spoke will fit. you will need to change out the tires.
