Can't get a 100% answer on these wheels
I'm wanting to get the wheels listed in the link whock are SL reps. I'm staying 18 inch as I have new tires. The offset on these wheels is 35 front and rear and they are 18x8.5 front, and 18x9.5 rear. I think I'll be OK in the rear, but will I need like a 5mm spacer for the front to clear the brakes and have it sit about the same as the factory wheels?

The rear won't be a problem. They'll fit, but you'll need spacers in the rear to make it sit nice and flush with the fenders.
As for the front, you may need that 7mm or more. If I'm not mistaken, i think those wheels have the same exact fitment / specs as a similar set of wheels that my bro test fitted on his W209 CLK55 with the 6-POT calipers. They didn't clear and he needed a 7mm spacer to clear it.
Don't quote me on this, but i doubt you'll have fitment issues. If they fit well on a W209, it'll fit fine on a W211.

"IF" and only "IF" these are the exact same wheels (but in 19's), they might just fit after all.

Good to hear I'm running 275 out back, ya I'm thinking it's gonna take a small spacer in front just to clear calipers
