Yeah they should fit I was running 19 inch 9.5 wide lm's on rear with 15mm spacers and 8.5 wide on front on standard se suspension and they were fine.

yep they will be fine you can run of to a 235/35/19 tyre and even lower it on some eibach or S-Line springs with no rubbing

you could even run a 12mm spacer up front if you wanted

I'm sure someone will confirm, but I think Merc wheels have a different centre bore? If so, don't forget spigot rings.

As well as spigot rings you need to check the size of the bolt holes. Mercedes use two different sizes of wheel bolt. A smaller 12mm bolt, and 14mm bolt like Audi.

You can get spacers with tapered centrebores too so you don't need spigots, otherwise you will. Also easy to Redrill, do it from the back to minimise damage
