Does anyone know if the stock C55 wheels and tires fit the C32? I'd like to have a little bigger and wider tires and keep the stock look..

Lenin

Absolutely fit without any issues. You can also use the CLK55 wheels. They are almost identical.

JamesC32

Thank you Lenin, I've been wondering for a while if I could do it!!

Gramma_Benz

That's what I'm running! It's a very subtle difference, yet it also makes a world of difference.
I also run 255's in the rear.

JamesC32

Gramma, are they the 18 inch rims? And are the rear 255 40 18 tires? I think that would make them just s little wider and a little taller, I was thinking they would grip better and maybe accelerate better..

Gramma_Benz

Yes, the 18's.
I'm currently running 255-40-18's and I LOVE the way they look. However, I do get a little rubbing from my left rear with load in the back. My fenders are rolled too. I think I'm gonna try grinding the lil tab that sticks out and see what I can do. I'm also lowered on coilovers. If OEM, prob not an issue.

But when I run 255-35-18, no issues rubbing at all.

Lenin

Same here. 255-35-18 in the rear without any issues on a lowered car. I run 38 PSI tire pressure to get the rims last a little longer but they still crack on occasion.

pointman

Crack??

Lenin

Yes, crack, but only on occasion. I got them from Toronto Canada.

I have heard of this issue happening numerous times with lowered cars.

COTD here!

I've got a 2 front and a rear if someone needs a spare c55 wheel

Gramma_Benz

I think its mostly a matter of really low profile tires due to larger rims and potholes in the road.

C3Duece

yep....need some sidewall for protection. I don't know how these guys justify stretching tires on $3k wheels....seems like $ down the drain to me.

i have a c55 wheels in me c32 and look great

I'm also thinking about purchasing a set of c55 wheels. I love the style of the c32 wheels just wish they were bigger. Would you recommend the used c55 wheels over a set of new aftermarket wheels? Is it a noticeable difference compared to the 32 wheels?
