They won't fit. You need to get the C32 double spoke AMG 17" wheels or go with 18's to clear the calipers.

Not that I know. When I installed the C32 brakes, I had my 17's on and to be able to fit them, I put on 3mm spacers.

When I got the 18's I got rid of the spacers.

Hey Greg I have them on my car as well but I'm going back to 17's from 19's in order to track the car......regardless you need to look at the wheel's spoke design as well. Something with a large lip or countersunk spokes won't work. The spokes need to be shaped like theine's 18's or the c32 rims. I'd heard the 17 ultra thins work as well.

Your best bet is to just look for rims for a C32 that way you know if they will clear or not.

I have no idea........it may require a test fit after you put them on or go check on the C32 forum to see if anyone has them.....or better yet ask whoever you bought them from.
