<div class="bbWrapper">Would these fit a 2003 W203?<img src="/styles/mbclub/smilies/dk.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":dk:" title="Dk :dk:" data-shortname=":dk:" /><br /> <br /> <a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=220835883081&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&amp;_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648&amp;autorefresh=true" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace</a></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Am I wrong in assuming that 16&quot; wheels from an E320 would be the correct offset etc for a 2003 C320?<br /> <br /> I have a bid on these at the moment but the seller is listing the tyres as 255/55/16 which seem rather wide for the rims, possibly a typo and he meant 225, I have emailed to ask and am awaiting a reply. Do E class wheels routinely differ in width to C class? i.e. 8j over 7.5j etc?</div>

Also, if different would it be a complete no to fitting to a C class?</div>

Try some sport edition wheels instead. <img src="/styles/mbclub/smilies/thumb.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":thumb:" title="Thumb :thumb:" data-shortname=":thumb:" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I bought a set of these once when I had my W210 years back but never put them on as I was told I needed a new set of bolts which I decided not to spend extra on so I sold them on (at a profit as it happens although not intentional). I think they were ET42 and the tyres should be 225's and not 255's so I think the seller has made an error in his description.<br /> <br /> Also it just so happens that I saw a W203 about an hour ago with the same fitted. They were 16&quot; Rucha's. Looked very suited to the car and looked good.</div>
