Front wheels in the back for snows?

Does anyone know if you can use the stock C63 front wheels all around (front and rear) for snows? Will they fit?

Thanks,

JB

The fronts are 8x18 ET45 and the rears are 9x18 ET54.
So if you use 8x18 ET45 all around it should be ok.

They will be fine. I used the same size as the fronts all round for my winter setup but purchased aftermarket wheels.

Thanks guys, I am just starting to get sorted for the winter. Would love to retain stock looking wheels, but I can't seem to find anything budget minded...

Yes, you can - as a matter of fact, that's exactly what MB does/recommends. Got a set of free snows for picking up the C63 in January and the snows are four front C63 rims with Pirelli Scorpions.

On 8" wide rims (fronts), yes. On 9" wide rims (rears), no. Either get two more 8" rims for the rear, or alternatively go to a 245-section tire on the rear at the expense of somewhat less grip.

I run 235/40/18 all around & yes it's a stretched look on the rear 9" but nothing crazy.
