URGNT! Need quick answer...rims...

Hey guys -

A contractor in my neighbourhood just offered me a nice set of alloy Mercedes rims from his '92 190E for my '89 300E for dirt cheap.

My stock 300E rims are 6.5J X 15H2, ET48.

His rims are 6J X 15H2, ET49.

Will they fit? I would need to pick them up today as I'm gone the rest of the week...thank you!

I would never advise going to a narrower rim

just for looks, no matter how favorable the price. Even a half inch may have a perceptible difference in handling and tire load capacity.
