Mercedes W203 C220 CDI Sport

[NickXX]

Hi all,

Does anyone know what size wheel is the smallest you can fit to this car? Will 15s fit?

It seems to have different calipers to the standard W203, and currently has 17s.

Thanks,
Nick

16"s were stock, even the steelies iirc.

Ahh, was thinking of buying these: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2346844.htm - reckon they might be 16s?

Maybe that was just on the Coupe then..
I found a W203 C220CDI with those wheels, so maybe it'll be OK? It's not a sport though..

Can I be nosey and ask why you want those ditchfinder specials?

My mum is totally inept at driving, particularly so in the snow, and is insisting the car is changed for an X3/X5/A4 quattro.

I'm trying to do some damage limitation by getting some winter tyres fitted to her C-class, so looking for some cheap wheels to fit tyres to

The sport is annoying - it has fancy looking calipers, but I have no idea if they're actually any bigger than the standard ones. They look big under 17s.
