C63 wheels on My C32

hey guys,
I have the C63 wheels that i just bought and i just tried to put them on my car. But they did not fit, the wheels touches the caliper so i'm thinking i need a spacers (just for the front) the rears i can just use smaller bolts and the wheels will fit. (bolts for the spare tire) should work. or should i get the C63 bolts from the dealer?

any help will be helpful.

W204 has different offset so it shouldn't fit. Spacers should work but there's other problems you might get into...

i put the wheels on, they clear the brakes and look good.

the rear's work just fine, i will just need a smaller bolt to make the rear's sit perfectly. the fronts are the only problem i have. if i did not got the bigger brake package, then i would have been able to make them fit easily.

This is an old thread, but I am in the same boat needing smaller/shorter lug nuts. I have a set of rims from an SL AMG that clear everything fine and have new rubber mounted, just need to find the right lug. The dealership has shorter bolts but they are the wrong thread for the hub.
What lug nuts did you end up getting and using on this?

You need to make sure

the proper offsets allow room for the C63 rims and rubber,so have they been test fitted?

Thanks for the link. I'm looking through HERE and I'm sure one of those are the set I need. Which set though is the big question mark....

you need at least 10mm spacer at least front and rear.

C63 wheel's 18x8 18x9...i think the offset is 47 front and 45 rear or 50 rear...forgot. they will not work or look remotely right without spacers for the 203.

Here is the answer to my own question. After speaking with nearly every specialty rim and tire shop in my local area, I made a last ditch stop at O'Reilly Auto. They had a set of 20 lug bols 12 x 1.5 that worked perfectly! The part number for this shorter bolt is #610317. The Mercedes dealership had something very similar that would have worked (longer spare tire bolt) but they wanted nearly $12 PER lug! O'reilly's had a better one for under $3 per.
Pics with the new rims HERE.
