Wheels + Tires for SLK350

Can you tell me if the 17 inch wheels for the W203 Sport Sedan can fit the R171 SLK350?
Several chaps in Europe are using W203 Sport wheels for their winter setup and I am considering doing the same or purchasing Fox5 wheels and Blizzaks from Tirerack.

Any comment?
Thanks!

In that case how about the Fos5 sport wheels? I'd like to buy a set of those split spoke wheels with some Blizzaks. Any deals on that combo?

as I have stated many times the Blizzak WS50 is not to be used on a Mercedes but ther LM22 or LM25 are acceptable .... the finish on the Fox % isn't all that great

'03 C320 coupe

I'm a bit confused...when I go to the Tire Rack website and ask for the "preferred" Winter package for my '04 C-Coupe, it comes back with the Blizzak WS-50 as the "ideal winter solution."

What am I missing here?

I ordered a set of wheels - Sport Edition Fox3s with Blizzaks LM-22 tires for my SLK350.
They should be here soon and I'll let you know how the are.
