Do Mercedes wheels fit my 335ci?

Hello guys, this is my first thread and please understand my awful English due to I'm an international student

Due to my English, I'm embarrased to write anything here but I really need your help for the fitment.

I used to have 2004 Mercedes CLK 320 conv and
I still have 16 inch OEM wheels.
Rims look like this;
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MERCEDES-BEN...item1e67322df0

Now, I have 2009 335i conv with 18 in M pkg wheels.

Winter is coming so I was thinking to get snow tires but for 18 wheels, snow tires are very expensive.

So I'm thinking perhaps I can use my CLK wheels and put snow tires on it.
I'm sure snow tires on CLK wheels are much cheaper but I'm just worried about fitment and other possible issues(TPM?).

What you guys think? Do you think this is the best way to save money?
Obviously I don't want to buy another wheels for just winter.

Please help me out
Thanks in advance

it's really sad to hear that. I guess I have to sell my mercedes rims then...

Then I have two options left.
first is get a 17 rims and all sets of snow tires
second is just buy a pair of snow tires and install it on the REAR.

I really don't want another wheels...also buying all sets of tires for my m rims
will cost a lot!

What should I do?? What's the best & cheapest way for my situation?
Can I drive well without having snow tires on the front?

By the way, thank you for the reply guys!

You can buy spacer adapters (5x112 to 5x120) to make them work.

The bolt pattern is different and I believe the center bore is different. Those will not work.
