On C Class, stock 205/55 are foreseen on 16" ET37 with 7" width. I'm ready to buy 4 used alloy wheel 16" from an E Class.

On E Class 16" are 7.5" width with ET41.

Please confirm me it'll be OK.

Please don't say me...go for 17"

thanks guys

If it helps you any, I run 16x7.5 ET 35, on my C 230 K, and there is tons of room to spare.
The extra 4 mm really should'nt be a problem.
Worst case scenario.....you could always use 5 mm spacers. ;)

thanks a lot Manny.

A man that work on MB said me also to verify possible interference with brake devices!?

Really I do not think this can be a problem.

I have both an E class and C class cars. The C's won't fit on the E's because of the larger brake caliper. However, you should have no problem fitting E class wheels into a C Class car. Front brake calipers will have plenty of room to spare.

unless you have AMG brakes, because the caliper is pretty big. This is why AMG put 17" wheels to clear the brake.

Thanks a lot Guys.
I'm still looking for a MB replica wheels or for some used 16" original MB wheels.

Unfortunately it seems to be quite difficoult to find here used wheels at a decent price. Also 8 hole wheels in 16" from an E class will be fine for me.
