17" C-Class wheels for drag wheels?
I was wondering if anyone knows if 17" C Class wheels will fit the rear of our cars? I have found a set with drag radials and I am not sure if they will fit correctly. If they will not, does anyone know what spacer would be required to use them? I would prefer to use the 16" CLK wheels but these wheels are local and already have the drag radials mounted (275/40/17 Mickey Thompsons). Any help would be appreciated.

It appears they are 17x8.5", et35. They are the seven spoke wheel that came on the C-Class. They are not the ultimate setup but would at least work for the track if they will fit. Thanks for the help.

My setup I used to get all of my 11sec runs were with the MB OEM wheels 17x8.5 with 275/40/17 MT's @ 20psi

Do you think these wheels will fit? I would prefer to go with the super light CLK wheels or even a CCW drag setup but I am trying to be frugal with this car.

My car has a few mods:
Kleemann 168 pulley
PLM shorty headers
PLM heat exchanger
Johnson pump
Dyno-Comp tune
Primary cat delete with test pipes welded in. O2 sensors coded by Kleemann to show ready (no CEL)
I have a co-worker with a 2010 CTS-V with headers and a pulley that has told me how he will destroy me. I have several other "fast" cars and have spent plenty of time at the track. What I plan to do is get to the track early, make sure my car is thoroughly cooled down, run 100 octane gas, and bolt on some good tires. His car ran 12.0 at 122 earlier this year....I know he has a horsepower advantage but I feel that if I am prepared I should win.
