I don't see why not. You would probably want a higher profile (middle) tire size. Dunno what the stock 18's are, but if they were 245 40 zr 18, maybe a 245 45 zr 17 would be suited well. I believe those are the appropriate sizes for the w208 17 vs 18

factory size: 225/40/18 and 255/35/18
for same width staggered winter wheels in 17", i would recommend:
225/45/17 and 255/40/17
If you get all 17x8 wheels, maybe 245/40/17

my 2003 W209 55 came with 17's from the factory. i am currently using those as my winter wheels. Stock sizes are 225/45/17 up front and 245/40/17 in the rear.
