Wheel fitment! need help quick

Hey guys im about to go and pick up some wheels for my Clk320. Just need for you guys to check if the fitment on them is going to be ok.

They are 17x8, 215/45/zr17 and the bolt pattern is 5x114.3 offset 43mm.

Thanks

Offset too much. I think somewhere around 37mm is more the max

You can do a search with success on fender rolling but I still think you are outside the box on this one. You can mess with rolling but I just think thats a bunch of work to just get a 17" tire. Better money spent going up to a 18 with right offset then its just plug and play

First
Wrong bolt pattern
Mercedes uses 5x112, so 5x114.3 won't fit

Second
+43mm means the wheel would be further from the fender, so you would need a spacer instead of rolling the fender

Third
The site below lets you calculate for optimal offset
