Cl500 offset question.

I have a question about my new wheels for w215. I'm upgrading to some Euro 63rs 20". The offset is 245/35/20 et32 front and 275/30/20 et42 rear. Will these fit without brake caliper clearance issue.

Offset has nothing to do with brake clearance. The faces of the wheels (where the bolts go) determine the clearances.

They will most likely be 8.5" wide on the front and 10" wide on the rear.
