Will 20" Carlsson wheels off of a C430 fit my C55?

I've got a chance to get a decent deal on a set of Carlsson's that a guy has on his C430. I'm trying to replace the wheels that the previous owner put on my 2006 C55. Any idea if these 20's will fit my car with stock suspension?

There is a girl down the street from me with 20's on a w203. It looks stupid IMO, To each his own though. I had rubbing issues with my 18's on my C55. I'm sure there are guys that run 19's that rub.. I would think 20's that are bigger than 8.5 inches wide would rub.

those 20's are made for bigger MB cars.. the 20's made for the w203's are like 20x7.5, you loose tranction, they raise your car like 3 inches and when you make a turn it looks like its goin to roll on its side.. point is, 20's shouldnt be on a w203 but if thats your style, go on with it.. you would need to know what the offset is, and are you sure its a c430..? its probably an s430..
