I don't think so.
Thes wheels will fit all 1992-1999 S-class 4 door sedans or S-class 2 door coupes.
The offset will be to much if you take an S-Class wheel and try to put it on an E-Class. Go to tirerack.com and check out the different fits and look at the offset number. That is where the hub lines up inside the wheel. If that number is too large or too small you may have problems. E and C Class wheels are about 35 where S Classes have an offset of 50.

In the front, the inside clearence is very tight. Per the post above mine, these wheels are not a good fit without spacers. If you go through all of the trouble to purchase the correct, hub-centric spacers (IE. H&R brand), the additional cost will not make these wheels a good deal.

It will calculate the differences of inside and outside clearances if you change the offset from stock. For instance, my '99 E320 came with 16X7.5 wheels with a 41mm offset.
If you go with an 8 inch wheel with a 35mm (which is typically the recommended offset for E-Class). Then you will notice that the inside clearance does not change, and the outside of the wheel will protrude 13mm closer to the fender lip. This is what gives aftermarket wheels a different look.
The offset calculator should only be used as guide. Recommended offsets are known values that will work all of the time without fender modfications.
