Will these rims fit and clear the brakes?

OK , so I have a buyer for my HRE rims that came off my 2008 E63. I called HRE, he said the front rims should be fine, the rear might need some spacers to get the correct stance out of it for the 2010 E350.

Here are the specs for my rims-

Front:20x8.5 ET25mm 245/30ZR20
Rear: 20x9.5 ET35mm 285/25ZR20

Before I sell him anything and get complaints, I want to know if what the guys frmo HRE is saying is true.

I know the argument of getting the right offsets, order new rims ect...but he wants my set so I guess that's a blessing in disguise.

TIA

Those rims will not fit the w212. Putting spacers will only make things worst (going the wrong way in offset sizing which is already almost 3/4"to 1" inch off)

If the fellow wants your rims so bad, I'm sure he will let you test fit his set, if only just to satisfy yourself that what I say is true.
