Take a look at the 500e Wheel offset specs...

My question is, will those wheels just go in place or will I need to put some sort of spacers or some other equipment on?
If you can avoid using spacers, they limit the integrity of the wheel hub connection, not a good thing. I think your best bet to to use the same front and rear offset wheels designed to fit a w124 500E. There is quite a bit of info on this in the archieves and several members can be consulted as well.

Best of luck!
