86 300SL Wheel Conversion

Looking at a new set of MB wheels with a 35MM offset. Current OEM rims at ET25. Tire size is 205 65 R15. Will they fit w/o any modifications or do I need spacers etc. Do not want suspension issue or fender issue.

Thanks in Advance

What size are the wheels?
Generally the answer is no.

You will probably need a 10mm spacer and longer bolts. When using a 10mm spacer try to find on made out of steel or else go for 12mm.
