SLK55 Wheels onto a C55
Hi Guys,
Just wondered if anyone knows of the top of there head if stock SLK55 rims will fit onto a C55 without spacers etc. The wheels I am looking at are fronts: 18x 7.5 ET37 and Rears: 18x 8.5 ET30. So obviously the offsets differ from the standard C55 rims.
Just wondered if I may have any issues clearing the calipers up front?
Thanks in advance.
Terry

Get SL55 rims instead, they are an inch wider all the way around and the offset of 35 and 33 are perfect.

They should just bolt right on. I've been looking for a set of multispokes, they look killer. The SL Multispokes look best, but the SLK's aren't shabby either.

Newest picture of the C32 with SLK55 wheels
I like the look of the SLK 55 wheels better than the SL 55 wheels. The SLK wheels have 18 spokes and the SL wheels have 22 spokes. I changed the wheels on our SL55 to CLK black series wheels and the only have 16 spokes.
