please post size and offset. it is written on the inside of the rim. I had a set similar that were 16" with 23 offset and they are so close to the tie rod ends I had to remove the weights on the inside and install stick ons. back was fine

I think you need to be around ET23, sounds like some pretty big spacers needed, and also very long lug bolts unless the spacers are the bolt included type, but Ive never seen those for a benz

Similar to W124 15-hole flat face wheels. If anything, I would try to find a similar design with a lower offset value to minimize excessive suspension wear (suspension geometry is altered).
