You need to look at the sizes and offsets, but if they are designed to fit on the C63 then they will not fit on the C55 without spacers. If they are C63 reps designed for the C55 then you should be good to go, need more info to answer your question.

The offsets are higher on a Stock C63. So they would sit further in your fenders, so it would look awkward .
However you mentioned replicas so whats the offset on these Replica Wheels?
If you dont know or cant get an answer, youre better off without them.

they might but im not a fan of spacers that wide
Im guessing you would need a 12-15mm in front and a 10mm in back
but i'm no rim expert, ask FrankW. He's even selling a nice set of rims
Note that C63 has been out for a while now, C63 rims are a nice wheel
but if it was truly possible, given the timeframe someone here would have done it by now.
Another rim you could look up is Dkflipse. His rims are nice, fit without spacers and not too hard on the pocket book.

I agree with your spanglish
I like the look, but the offset i would have passed
Now I know the reason for the offsets bc they sounded familiar
What is that in the background? Did they come off that DUB.

Please tell me you changed the hubcentric rings.

Yeah thTs the only thing I hate ... Using spacers that big... Yeah they came of he vw. Yeah I took out the hub ring...
Forsure they will fit.. So maybe with nice hr spacers they will ride without any problems... I am thinking hard about this one..

Bro from a VW? Like i said i recognize the offset from my Audi freinds
Well dont tell anyone.
The hub rings are another problem
Did you find an adapter?
Did this guy have staggered wheels on a FWD car?

Yeah they are staggered. I didn't know I would need an adapter too. 
I am better off just looking for different rims. Too much of a headache.
Thanks anyways man.

Im just worried about how they fit on your hub......
if anything take it to a wheel place like good roads or wheels boutique
I know there are some issues when fitting an Audi wheel to Mercedes. Maybe a guy who has gone through a lot of wheels like FrankW can chime in.
