W211 pics with W212 18” 5-spoke?

Looking for pics of a W211 (preferably a wagon) with the W212 18” 5-spoke wheels shown in the attached pic.

There’s an offset difference of 8mm and I would think that the minimum hub extender spacer size of 12mm wound be appropriate… but I’m wondering if 20mm might help appearance without having the tires poke out of the fenders.

Any input appreciated.

I've seen those being sold on Facebook market place all the time. They look like C-class wheels to me, but that's just my opinion. I think the period correct 5-spoke rims look much better, but they're 17". They give a nice comfy ride, but still...17". 18s do look much better. As for the offset, I'd agree that the wagon has a great stance with 30mm offset. That's my set up, 30mm squared.

Original equipment 17" 5-Spoke

CLS AMG 18" 10-spoke with et44 + 15mm hub-centric spacers

Good shot of offset
