Will these wheels fit on my SLK 55?

Im gonna get the staggered set.
Front:
19" x 8.5", 30mm offset, 6" backspacing
Rear:
19" x 9.5", 30mm offset, 6" backspacing
I was told by Luke at tirerack and the guy selling the wheels that they will fit and wont present any issues as far as tire rubbing or anything. The only possible issue per everyone I've talked to is the brakes.
Anyone have any idea if these wheels will clear my brakes?
Thanks

Not too sure about the front offset. ET 30 may hit the front brake. Here is what came factory:
(front: 7.5 x 18 ET 37 with 225/40R18, rear: 8.5 x 18 ET 30 with 245/35R18 )
Make sure to get the wheel weight as well. They look a bit heavy which will rob horsepower.

We are currently looking to sponsor an SLK AMG with our line of Kranson 3 piece forged wheels.
The price won't be near the price of that 1 piece cast wheel but it is definitely a a way superior quality wheel that will look 100 times better and have warranty for peace of mind.
Pm me if you are interested.
