Yes they'll fit. Any W203 W209 R170 wheels will fit a W203. That includes AMG wheels. Direct swap. Bolts can be reused.

The only exception are steel wheels but those have their own set of bolts, and are interchangeable with all other steel wheels for the platforms listed above. (to the best of my knowledge)

Just realized you posted the 8.5" (width) wheels. For that setup the fronts should actually be 7.5". This is called a staggered setup.

I am not sure if 8.5" will fit the front. They'll bolt on, but the issue is clearance with the fender, strut, and wheel well.

For 17" wheels, the W203 typically runs 7.5J all around, or 7.5J front 8.5J rear (aka staggered). I would check to see if 2 of the wheels are 7.5J.
