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.
