wheel fitment and tire size question?

I want to put my 2003' e55 stock wheels (double spoke) on my 1999 c280.

2 question...

will they fit? if so... tire size I should run?

thinking 225/40/18 for fronts and 255/35/18 for rears?

thanks for the help!

The wheels should fit, and 225/40R18 & 255/35R18 are the correct sizes. However, keep in mind that the W211 wheels are designed for use on cars running 14x1.5 lug bolts and your W202 uses 12x1.5 lug bolts. You will need custom bolts that are 12x1.5 with at 14x1.5 radial head to ensure that the lug bolts seat properly into the wheels. You also may need to roll the fenders as it is an aggressive setup for the W202.
