1) bolt size... E-class (W211) has 14mm bolts, same as M-class. C-class has 12mm bolts
2) weight... M-class is under 4600lbs, E55 is 4100lbs. 500lbs isn't that much difference, considering the E-class can easily carry more than that (tank of gas and two guys is about 500lbs). If you load the M-class up to full capacity, that would be an issue. It's likely that these wheels probably aren't even load rated for an E-class.
3) offset... M-class will certainly handle the offset. It can handle ET30 to ET60 without major issues.
The tires will fit a C-class but that's about it.
