C Class AMD 18" (Will they fit)

I have a set of replica 18" AMG alloys on my c200 sport 1996, I have had endless problems with vibration, i've had them ballanced 4 times by 4 different workshops. The replicas wich are still on the car are odd there are 3 x 8.5j and 1 x 8j (tyres are 225 40 18).
I also have an ABS problem wich i think is down to the wheels as this fault was not their when i had 15" on the car.

I have just purchased a set of Genuine 18" AMG which i am going to put on the car providing they will fit? The spec is:

Front = 225 40 18 - 8J - ET31
Rear = 255 35 18 - 9J - ET35

Please could anyone advise me to wether they will fit and if i should get rid of any vibration and ABS problems. Or is just that i will have to live with the problems having 18's.

Thanks

considering this is a W203 forum, I don't know if anyone could answer this question here. Should probably go to the Wheels & Tires forum and ask Luke.

Why would you buy something first and then ask if it will fit?
