22 spoke wheels for C32
Will the wheels from a SL55 fit either a C32 or a SLK32? The wheels are 8.5x18 and 9.5x18.

No issues at all on the C55. The C55 and C32 are the same. No rubbing if you install the right tires size.
225/40/18 front
255/35/18 rear

What tire sizes are you running if you don't mind. Are you lowered?

Do you feel that if the car was lowered that you would rub?

Probably yes! Because I have installed 235/40/18 on the front and the front tires were rubbing . Other members installed 255/40/18 on the rear and they were rubbing on the back. So i would imagine that if you lowered your car, you might rub!

I'm lowered and run 235/255 on the same rims. I had to change the lug nuts/bolts and was rubbing in the front. Ended up removing some of the cover in the wheel well to make it clear. I'd go 225 in the front to be safe.
