Not very good with wheel/tire terms, would these wheels fit the C63? (18's of course)

I think these would look really good with P31 Mars Red. Don't know about the quality, but also don't know if they would fit lol.

The largest wheel they make is 18x8 plus they don't have the offsets or bolt pattern. The stock rear wheel is 18x9 so I personally wouldn't use them.

Ok, I kinda understand, the number after the x is the width?

Yeah. Basically when you see a wheel advertised, it will look something like this. This is the spec of our factory C63 wheel

Front:
18 X 8 (18" diameter x 8" width)
5-112 (bolt pattern)
45mm (back spacing)

Rear:
18 X 9
5-112
54mm

Technically the Back Spacing (45mm & 54mm shown above) is Offset. Back Spacing and Offset are two different things. Also if you go with wider wheels the Offset may need to be adjusted accordingly. So say you go with 8.5" wide wheels on the front and 9.5" or 10" wide wheels on the rear the offset may need tweaking to position the wider wheel correctly in the wheel well.

Back Spacing is the distance from the rim face on the rear side of the wheel to the mounting hub surface.

Offset is the distance from the wheel center-line to the mounting hub surface and can be positive (hub surface to the outside of the center-line) or negative (hub surface to the rear side of the center-line).

There is a lot of info on here about wheels so take some time to read and research. If you are not 100% sure about buying wheels and specs then contact a sponsor like Automotive Connoisseur Group (ACGSD) or Wheels for Less for choice and advice.
