AMG Mono II is for 12mm lugs, the M-class uses 14mm lugs. You may not even be able to get the bolts through. Wait, let me go try.
Yeah, the bolts don't even go through. The holes in the wheels are only 12.5mm, and the bolts are 14mm diameter.
Secondly, the load rating on the Monoblock II is probably not high enough for the M-class.
I ran 18x9" ET35 wheels on my M-class (these wheels were spec'd by Tirerack way back when), with 285/50R18 tires. I had fender flares so the tires didn't stick out, if you don't have flares that size may stick out some. 17mm difference in offset really doesn't make much difference in that HUGE wheel well.
I guess you're going to have to find someone else to get those rims... why don't you just straight sell the two you have?

depends on the weather
with the intended use of the ML ( it's a truck) the AeroII Monoblock wheel will not properly meet the vehicle requirements due to the added load capacity of the ML
so ... no
so ... no
