They wont fit well. 14mm vs 12mm bolts issue. They are about 2-3 lbs each heavier than the 17". If you want to get 18" Style IV, get the 7.5x18 and 8.5x18 (same 18" wheel that is standard on Euro CLK55).

just make sure you order the one for C-class 7.5x18 and 8.5x18.

Harris, If you are getting the Style IV MULTIPIECE, it's 18x8.5 all around. Correct?

If you think the E55 wheels look hot, then please visit: http://www.hartonmotorwerks.com/gallery.htm and take a look at the white CLK there. It's even "hotter"!! Btw, thats the Style IV 18" multi-piece.

Yes, they're HEAVY but strong ! If you want 9J in the rear.
Rear tire 265 mm & above.

the CLK55 AMG style-IV looks good, too.

Harris, those are beautiful. Do they fit the C32 perfect, or do you need spacers? Do they have the same bolt mm as the C32? I am looking for rims big time, but cant find some that i like and that fit without any modifications.

Thanks

I'll upload more pics on my site later today. You can see a close up shot of the wheels. They use the same bolts as the C32 because the W209 and W203 basically share the same chassis. However, if you were to get those wheels, you have to put all four 18x8.5 (you can put wider tires on the rear if you want). The 18x9.5 has an offset of ET18, which is specifically made for the W209, it will stick out a lot on a C32 and will look ugly and rub like hell.

If you get 18x8.5 all around, it will be a direct bolt on with no problem whatsoever. If you want to keep everything AMG, this is the one to get. And they are very very RARE!!!

Or if you prefer the staggered look, here are the 18" Euro CLK 55 wheels on my C32. They fit perfectly.

Sorry about the pics - my camera is tiny and has low res. But here's an extra pic or two.

Springs are stock, but my car is Australian spec which may be a little lower than US spec.

The wheels cost about $US2600 for the set from my MB dealer in Australia. Hope this helps

Front 225/40 18
Rear 255/35 18

These are the recommended sizes from the MB/AMG wheel brochure, but you can fit larger if you don't mind changing your rolling radius.

Harris, you should sell a truckload!
