Will Audi A6 wheels fit W203?
They are 5x112, 7.5X17 with 35 offset? 235-45-17 tires, any rubbing problems?

W203 should use 225/45R17 not 235/45R17.

Issues you will have:

#1 Audi A6 wheels have a centerbore of 57.1mm. The hub on your W203 is 66.5mm so you will need to have the centerbores drilled open so that the wheels will fit over your hubs.

#2 The Audi wheels are made to accomodate 14x1.5 factory Audi lugs. These lugs will not work on your W203 which uses 12x1.5 lugs.
