'94 E500 Wheel Offset Question

Hello,
Will these properly fit a '94 E500?

AMG 5 spoke star wheels. Two of the wheels are 17 x 7 1/2, with a 37 offset for the front, & the other two are 17 x 8 1/2 with a 30 offset for the rear.

TIA

The factory wheels are 16x8 34mm offset f/r. There is a reason for this, mainly clearance issues with the brakes. Moving to a 17x7.5" in the front will not provide clearance for your brakes. The 17x8.5" in the rear (or front) will work.

You can also go much wider with different offsets. R129 and W126 wheel offsets work best on the W124.036. I run 18x8.5 25mm in the front and 18x10 25mm in the rear. Virtually a perfect fit for the 500e.
