if the W211 has the same set up as the W209, I know for a fact that a 19X9 rim w/ a 35mm offset will NOT fit w/o a spacer. I sold my set of LM-1's to a guy who bought a brand new CLK500. He had to buy 7mm spacers to make the front rim fit.

The reason why spacers is needed on a CLK500 with the LM1 is because CLK500 has big calipers in the front. The W211 doesnt. Also, W211 and W209 wheels are theoretically not interchangable because of different bolt size (but that doesnt mean it cant be done).
People should stop commenting if they're not sure of what they are talking about.
