Another - Winter wheels question

[AntC43]

Sorry guys, i'm going to have to ask what seems to be a common question.

I'm not going to lie, when it comes to wheels, trying to work out which wheels will fit my car is witchcraft.

In my defence this is my first MB after 15 years of VW ownership so i'm a little confused as to which wheels will fit my 2012 C220.

My current wheels are 18" AMG wheels
225/40/18 - (ET-50)Front
255/35/18 - (ET-54)Rear

So a "safe" tyre is 205/55/16 ET-43 on a 7J wheel, be that steel or alloy.

Would these from a 2013 A Class fit? Winter Tyres and Alloy Wheels Suitable for Mercedes A-class 2013 onwards | eBay

This site may help. Enter your existing and proposed dimensions and see the differences....

Check your owners manual for the recommended winter tyre sizes. Make sure if you are fitting 16 inch rims that they will clear the front brake calipers. Sometimes the sport models have larger discs and bigger calipers.

As suggested, it's best to check your owners manual. It will tell you which size wheels and tyres to fit. They're often narrower than summer tyres.

I hadn't actually given any thought to checking the user manual. Thanks gents

I clean forgot i had been bidding on a set of 17" wheels from a 07 C220 which i won last night. Using the online tyre fitment calculator there will be 13mm additional Poke on a ET37 offset.

Personally i don't think this i going be a problem but thought i would ask the question first before handing over the cash.
