Will the alloys fit

[Chase23]

Hi everyone

I own a Mercedes C220 Avantgarde 2006.
The wheels are the two different sizes on front and back. But are 17”.

for sale are w257 CLS AMG 19” wheels @ £350 for the set with tyres needing replacing

Question is..... will they fit my car without any driving issues????
And is price worth buying new tyres?????

They should fit without any issues as the offsets for the CLS and the W203 C class are almost the same.
The only problem is your C Class uses M12x1.5mm bolts, and the CLS wheel is designed for M14 x1.5mm bolts.

Using your OEM bolts, the radius under the bolt head may drop through the CLS wheel bolt hole (Its 2mm bigger)
I believe you can buy 12mm thread bolts with an M14 head but someone else may be able to tell you where.
Personally I'd leave the CLS wheels and get something meant to fit a W203 C Class.

Thank you for the advice. I drive a lot and don’t want to risk a wheel coming off what driving. Heard many a story of that happening.
i will stick with what I’ve got for the time being.
Do you know which wheels I should look out for that world look good. I’m looking to buy second hand as it’s a old car that I’m just keeping it as best condition as possible.

No they won't fit, not even close, CLS wheels are much wider W203 wheels

Alloywheels direct list 19" wheels for a W203 that are 8.5j & 9.5j wide.

The W257 CLS 19" alloys listed are narrower than the W203's at 8j &9j

I can only see the disparity with the bolts being the issue of fitment.

Alloy wheels direct used to do M12R14 bolts - I bought some and use them on my 210 fitted with 211 wheels.
