Luke or anybody...Please help

My uncle has W201 190E. Currently, he has the stock 15" wheels and tires on his car. He was offered by his friend a set of 16" W203 stock wheels and tires. Now, the question are :
1. Are those wheels gonna fit prefectly without any spacer?
2. If yes for #1, does he have to p urchase a new bolts or he can use the old bolts?
3. Is there anything that he should change for fitting this wheels and tires?

Thanks in advance for any inputs

Thanks Luke for the reply. Now, sorry for having min. knowledge about the wheels and tires, what will happen if my uncle use those stock tires (205/55/16) on his car?

I'm asking this cos he seems like the style of the wheels and got a good deal from his friend .

Thanks again in advance
