EVO II rims

I posted this in the wrong place earlier.

I've searched through the archives and it looks like 17" EVO II wheels will fit on the 1994 E420, can anyone confirm or deny this?

What kind of tires will I need to buy so that there is no rubbing at all?

The local MB dealer is selling four new rims for $1360, I couldn't find them on Tirerack and Bekkers is a little more expensive especially with the extra cost of shipping . Does anyone know if there are any cheaper prices than this?

I don't know much about fitting rims to cars so is there anything else I should know before I buy the rims, what are spacers, fender rolls and offset, will I need to make any modifications to the car like rolling the fenders e.t.c.

I'm expecting a harsher, stiffer ride, is there anything else I need to worry about?

Thanks for any help or advice you can give.

After doing some more research, the specific model I want to get is the polished 8.5 17 Evo rims, there are 7.5x17 rims, what are the major differences in both?

Thank you
