Thanks for the heads up ! That's good to know for when we order a winter wheel and tire set for our C43 Sedan in the fall. We just ordered a car, but it won't be here to April (generally after all our snow is gone).

1Gunner can you confirm the Niche Misano ended up working for you? I had hoped to use the winter wheel set up from the CLA45 on the C43 but unfortunately the 18 x 8 45mm offset wasn't close even if I'd tried spacers. Sorry if I missed a different thread but hadn't seen any additional posts beyond this one.

My car isn't scheduled to land until next week. Last I heard it was on the way in a rail car.
The Niche wheels and tires are now sitting in my garage waiting.... patiently.

They look great, thanks for posting the picture. I take it you have a very high level of confidence they fit

The car is here sitting in the garage and I have winter tires, but no wheels so it isn't going anywhere. My wife is driving the GLK until the winters are ready.

I expect they will fit without issue, however I have a high level of confidence my tire guy will honour his word, "if they do not fit he will make it right".

Gotcha

I ordered the CLA winter wheels online from 1010tires and they were actually pretty good. The first 2 sets I wanted that should have fit by spec didn't so we kept going down the list until they confirmed a set that would work. I was hoping you had already been able to fit them to the car so I wouldn't have to go through that again. The spec does look good though so I may go ahead and take the plunge. Ideal would be 8" with 23mm offset, but hard to find so this as close as I've seen to a set that will work, with a wheel I like.

These are 8" x 18" ET30. Others with C43 have mounted this spec without issue.

Pricing was favourable also, wheels, Michelin snows, mounted, balanced and tax included for $1750. CDN.

That is a really good price, will keep that in mind next time!


Mine were around 2100nd, and they will go from my C400 to the C43 when it gets here. I have the Nokians which were more too, but the xIce if they were in stock I would have got them

X-Ice XI3! Awesome!!! That's what I have, except in a different size. Now you can get through anything, limited only by the car's height clearance!

That is a great price. I've ordered the same wheels but went with Hankook i cept evo 2 tires and it ran me over $2,000. The same Michelin would have been about $100 more.

Thanks, I'd shopped around a fair bit and knew where city and big box pricing was.
I guess that's one advantage of small town pricing... MUCH lower overhead!

I've also ordered a set of MB center caps:
