Not properly without modifications. Different lug sizes.

Do both shock and wheel (either 17 or 18 is fine, 19 or more will hamer the ride). Your car will then handle like an E55 (minus the engine), which is about 5000 times better than the C32.

Make sure you pick out good tires, it's VERY important factor in good handling (but often overlooked, people just go w/ size & rating, and that's not enough).
