Freebie wheels and winter tyres - will they fit?

[Cagey]

Hi Everyone

Been lurking a little while, but finally saying hello!

I have a 2008 S204 220CDi, and it's been sat on my driveway since the snow came.
I have been offered for free by a work colleague in Germany the following wheel/tyre combo:

2104010602 - 7.5Jx16 ET41 with 215/55 R16 winter tyres.

On my car I currently have the 18" wheel option which are:
18x850225/40R1818x8.554255/35R18AMG

Question is, will I be able to do a direct swap, or will I be needing spacers and/or different bolts?

I called my local dealer before I was offered the above and they said that the steel wheel option for the 204 is 6Jx16 with an ET of 39. This would be a straight swap they said.

Any advice on this would be appreciated. The chance of getting these for free is great, but I don't want to pay the shipping charges if they aren't going to fit.

Thanks in Advance.

It depends on what type of brakes you have. My W203 C320 has the larger sport brakes, as such the smallest wheel size I can use is 17"

I suspect if your W204 is a Sport model you may have the same issue.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I don't think the 220 sport comes with big brakes. I read a thread on another forum (shhh!), of a guy in Sweden with a 220 sport who upgraded his brakes to bigger ones from a 6-cyl.

S204 should have 53ET with 16 x 7.5J so your friends ET41 will sit further out and may foul something.
