'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

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.
