my brain recalls the default tire size to be 215-55-16 so these tires will be oversized.
your odo/speedo will read low.
the rims have the proper specs so it should fit well. however, be aware that the lug
design is different with the 211s. your 210s are 12mm diameter, 12mm radius ball seat.
the 211s are 14mm diam, 14mm radius ball seat.
if you use your stock bolts, it may be too long. it will be undersized and insufficient
ball seat contact will occur.
OTIS or RAD hybrid lug bolts can be had. 20 of them will cost about $50. the specs
you need will be 12mm diameter with 14mm radius. BUT the length will depend on
the thickness of the rim. so when you get the rims, measure and post the results and
we can help. basically, the bolt should protrude about .5-.75" beyond the rim. that is
the right size to reach and thread ...yet not too long as to cause damage to the brake
system.

Rims
will fit.
Tires won't in the front.
The big question is why would you buy used tires and rims for that much money?
Brand new are less.
Check some of the combo packages at tirerack or discounttire.
$124 bucks and free shipping at times then you add tires or get tires at costco
You get lugs also properly sized in the deal and then add mb center caps from rad/otis usa.

The "proper lug bolts" so vaguely referenced above have to be something from the aftermarket (how proper is that?) because W211 wheels are designed for 14 mm lug bolts and your W210 uses 12 mm lug bolts--which won't work with the W211 wheels.

Rad otis
lugs work.Thus proper,safe,and the correct length.If you can tell 1/25" gap by eye from stock and it bothers you don't install w211 rims on the W210.
Thousands of members have done it though and it did not bother them.

At the bottom of this page is information regarding the source of RAD lug bolts that I used for my W211 on my W210.
