Do these wheels fit my C55?
I found these wheels priced well and they look similar to the stock wheels, does anyone know if they will fit?

Also, they are 1/2" wider front and back so I thought that would be an improvement.

I think they should fit...I am pretty positive the rears will fit, I have 19x9.5 +35 offset in the rear and 19.8.5 in the front with a +32 offset. They appear to be E55 wheels, Id check in the c-class section I am pretty sure people have put them on their C-class', I think If you have stock suspension they should fit without spacers fine

the one thing you have to watch out for... wheel spacers in the front! the amg calipers are a pain to find the right spacing without spacers... I would try to avoid spacers if you can... they can be quite dangerous... but I also believe that it is .5 inch thinner not wider than stock...

The stock c55 wheels are 7.5 and 8.5, these are 8 and 9. Right now I have Mandela regenmaster 18" 8.5 and 9.5, they were on the car when i bought it, I don't like the chrome or the styling. I wanted to get some wheels with similar to stock look but wider and NO

HAHAHA! hey believe it or not... but I had a run in with poor quality spacers... i was driving my truck and the guy infront of me hit a pothole and his wheel fell off... and hit my truck... turned out to be that the spacer left no space for the rim to rest on the hub... and was made of an inferior quality... If this happened when i was in my AMG I woulda flipped... it woulda done alot of damage... but as I was in a big truck I just ran over his rim and bent it to hell LOL...

I also found these wheels that the guy says are a direct fit, no spacers, what do you all think:

They look nice to me, I am not sure if they are oem for a specific car, I don't recognize them. The good thing is that they are 8.5/9.5 staggered and 18".
Everyone's feedback would be appreciated!
