depends on the weather
not correctly .... w211 uses a much lower offset so, the wheel would not only stick out too far but, it wouldn't have the right load capacity

Actually, depending on which size. All Brabus 19's have ET45 offset, so if you want to fit those wheels on a W211, all you have to do is to take out the hub-centric spacers and it will be a direct bolt on.

But if the wheels are 18's, then probably not.

ok makes sense, thanks!
just so I know, what are the front and rear offsets of the W211s, I believe the rear spacers are slightly wider than fronts?? thanks.

I thought you have a set?? No?? You can measure it yourself, lazybone!! Brabus uses ET29 front and ET35 rear. Since you are too lazy, you have to do the math yourself!!
