Yes they will fit. I assume they come from S class or CLK and they are 5x112.
They have slightly lower offset than stock that is something around 52mm and driving will be slightly different. Car will be more sensitive to stearing. I've gor pretty much the same wheels on my ML320.
However tires on those wheels are too small. It means that wheel diameter will be smaller than stock by 8.1%. You will get better acceleration but worst fuel economy and lower top speed. Also when your speedo will show 60mph in fact you will be doing 55.16mph. Take into account that transmission will be shifting at odd rpms. Correct tire sizes for those rims on ML would be 255/50R19, 260/50R19, 275/45R19, 285/45R19 Wider tire = better grip but lower mpg. Narrower tire = less grip but better mpg
I hope this helps
