Okay I got tired of my amg mono's and went shopping for new wheels. I ended up buying some used FAB design three piece rims 18x 8.5 and 18x 9.5 offset 33. I couldn't resist the deal so i bought them but i am concerned that they might not clear the calipers on my c36. I tried getting more info on these wheels fitment but not much out there. Any insight on this might would help. I should get them in about 4 days but want to know if anyone knows if I'll need spacers so I can buy them now.

I'm going to black out the centers.

Im pretty sure you will not need spacers.
since your wheels have an offset of 33 (Ideal offset is 35) there is actually more clearance between the wheel back and hub.. so in turn more clearance for the caliper.
you may have some issues with hitting the fender (front mainly) depending on if your car is lowered or not.
the rear Im not sure about though. not sure what an ideal offset is for a 9.5" on the rear.
