You might try posting this thread in the "Wheels & Tires" forum or maybe just ask Luke from Tirerack directly and see what he says.

They will require some modification to use. The warning in my AMG W210 listing says:

"Required front & rear fender rolling, bump stop kit and fender spacker kit"

I have also heard that some guys have the offset 'shaved' back to 35mm offset.

Tires:
235/40/18
265/35/18 rear

I don't think you can shave those wheels down to ET35. I am pretty sure that the max allowable is ET31, which is pretty close... close enough to work on the W210 (and look pretty agressive).

But AMG has become fairly aggressive in their fitments lately... I've seen a W209 in Affalterbach with SL wheels, which looked pretty aggressive too!
