560 sel wheel fitment question need help

I need to know what size spacers and what size tire that I need to put these wheel on my 1989 560 sel. I am looking at a AMG style IV the front wheel are 17x7.5 ET37 and the rear wheel are 17x8.5 ET30. My suspension is all stock and I would like it to ride as near to factory as possible.



Thanks

We do not endorse the use of spacers in non-TUV approved applications

What does Non-TUV approved applications mean. I guess my question is if I were to use a 15mm spacers would the wheels work. The front offset would become 22mm and the rear offset would become 15mm. I could also use a 20mm spacer which would make the front 17mm Would that work?
