Wheels-SLK55 on C32?

I have purchased the 2002 C32 that I posted about last week. Thanks to 320 Dreamer and TemjinX2 for the advice. All it really needs is new lower control arm bushings, which I am in the process of replacing.

I would like to put turbine-type wheels on the car and have located a set from an SLK55 (2005). They are 18"x7.5" and 8.5". I don't know the offset. Can anyone tell me if they will fit? Do I need spacers?

Any help/opinions, suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Someone on the SLK forum has posted that the stock wheels have an offset of 37mm front and 30mm rear.

I had those exact turbine wheels on my C55. They fit fine with no spacers at all on the C55 and I'm sure that means they will be fine on your C32. I am also selling these wheels (upgraded to iForged). They are just sitting around in my garage not doing me any good. Perfectly round, etc. w/ tires, some small rash around the outer edges on one or two wheels no structural damage at all on any of them. PM or email me in case you are not getting a great deal.

I believe they should bolt right on and they look great!
