should do as 18" wheels are an option also depends on wheel, more chance with a forged wheel.
OEM wheel sizes and offsets (same for 18” and 19”)
- Front is 8” width with +45 offset, rear is 9” with +54 offset
- C63 hub center is 66.6mm
- Bolt circle is 5 x 112 mm (corrected)

Offset is a measure of distance between the wheel's mounting surface and its centerline, and determines the lateral position of the tire and wheel (and therefore where the tire's outside edge will sit with respect to the fender lip). The clearance between the wheel's mounting surface and brake caliper is fixed (it's the same as the surface of the hub to the caliper). Lay a straight edge across the hub and observe the distance between it and the caliper. It's always the same no matter where the wheel's centerline is. The wheel's inside diameter clearance to the outside surface of the caliper is the critical dimension and limits how small the wheel you can mount.

I used 18 inch wheels off an E550, (2013 I think), and they are fine. They are on the car now so I'm not sure exactly, but they were not staggered like my C63 and were in the 45 - 48 range offset range. They look fine and work great for my snows. They are also softer over bad roads as a plus.

For winter tires, the factory recommends a square set-up with 18" in 8J and ET45
