Winter wheels for C63?

Ok....I have the W203 5 spoke 17x7.5 37mm wheels with PA2's (225.45.17) on my C55 for winter. The owner's manual and Drivers door spec plate also states 17x7.5 37mm wheels for winter driving. Anyone know if these will fit the C63 or am I looking at a new set for the new car??

Just trying to do some site planning while waiting for the 63.

I have had 3 wonderful winters in my C55. Never been stuck and never found a ditch. With good snows on all around these cars are pretty good in the snow. 4 doors-4 seasons. Where else can you get a 4 door with near super car performance that goes well in the snow.........? Most fun I have had in a daily driver in years and I am sure it will continue with the C63

I would have to agree that driving it in the winter is an unusual experience. It is actually pretty good with 4 good snowies!!!!

i'm not sure but i think the c63 uses very high offset wheels. brake clearance may be a fitment issue as well.

It's a car. Drive it.

My slammed W124 helps plow the roads in winter, it's so low and I still daily drove it. My C63 will be the same.
