Exclamation Dumb ML Fitment question

I have an '03 ML320. The bolt pattern is 5x112.

I am looking into buying some 18" OEM AMG wheels that have a bolt pattern listed as 5x112. The wheels are 18"x7.5" front and 18"x8.5" rear staggered fit rims by Mercedes AMG. The tires are 235/40/18 front tires and 255/35/18 rear.

Is there some reason that I should NOT buy them?

I noticed that the "recommended" tire sizes are taller. Does that matter?

As far as a load rating, I only drive it on the street and never tow anything.

Thanks for any info.

That's what I was thinking. I passed up the opportunity. It was a really good ebay deal. Glad I didn't do it.

Thanks for the info.
