the rims will fit your 420


....but you will not be able to turn successfully w/o rubbing,
---the tire you put on may result in a ride harsh enough to mix paint,
....the inside front will likely contact the infamous nut on the suspension

in other words, you will be miserable if you do.

Now you are being smarter but the Et is still way off. It should be 31 with 35ET being ideal for the W210 chassis. Use a 235-40-18 tire and all is good. No rub and no pain. It will still be a little harsher than the stock 16s. Get the bolts from RAD USA for a good fit.

He's not

talking about the fender rolling. He's talking about screwing up the ride.
Way wrong offset,way to big a rim,way to low profile tires for the suspension system,just plain way wrong all the way around no matter what you do to try and make it work.
