any other OE Mercedes 17" wheels fit over C32/55/CLK500 front calipers?

I've posted this to the C32/C55 forum, as well as the general Wheels forum, but am just looking for a bit more info, as I realized that the CLK500s (550s too?) come with 345mm discs and the same calipers, just differently painted.

I've got a '99 C43, but have acquired a set of C32/55 calipers, to go with new discs too.

I know my 17" and 18" Monoblocks will fit with a small 3mm spacer. I'm wondering if there are any other OE Mercedes wheels in 17" that will fit (other than the stock twin spoke AMG wheels of course). I'm looking at other options in case I find the 18s too harsh with lower profile rubber (I haven't even run them yet, just test fit).

For instance, will the W203 sport package wheels fit? I think they are 17s?

Have always liked that wheel, but I understand the sport 203s run a 330mm disc, not a 345mm like the C32/55.

I understand that the 5 spoke AMG wheel like this one (Type IV?) fits too:

I'm not hugely keen on running huge spacers, as the car is lowered and I'm a bit afraid of fender/tire clearance. Any input appreciated.

All 17" AMG wheels should fit over the 345mm brakes. It's just a matter of finding some with offsets that work.
