W210 rim/tires fit W203?

I thinking of swapping my E-Class W210 Carlsson 1/5 8.5Jx18 ET+28 with 235/40R18 tires into my C-Class W203.

I know the tires are slightly oversized as C-Class should be using 225/40R18 instead, but does it fit afterall?

Any rubbing of fenders expected or unacceptable inaccurate reading of speedo anticipated?

Thanks in advance.

depends on the weather
8.5" wheel + 28mm offset + 235 tire size = severe tire rub

use a 35mm offset and a 225 tire size to prevent the rubbing

Do you have any pictures of your W210 with these wheels? Do the tires rub with this combo? Even if you do not have photos, could you please respond about how this wheel/tire combo fits a w210?

Thanks,
