Lightbulb SL55 wheels on my CLK55

Will these wheels from a 2004 SL55 fit my 2004 CLK55? They are 18X8.5; 18X9.5. I hope they will fit because I like them alot. Thanks in advance!

Different hubs and wrong offset, I believe.

The offset can work but the real problem is that the bolt holes are too big, and the thickness of the material in the bolt hole area is very thin. Not a good idea unless you plan to drill out your wheel hubs and retap them. In theory it should work with custom made lugs or lugs intended for this application; but I have not seen any for sale that were adequate.
