Its a staggered set, the fronts are fine but the rears will rub if you don't roll the fender.

Heres an example with a BMW E39. It would be the same process with your Merc.

They will fit no problem, IF your car isn't lowered.

You could still lower it, but you will need to put 225's on the rear and adjust camber. But fender rolling, is definitely the proper way to go.

I have the exact same setup, with 225's on the front and 245's on the back, and my car isn't lowered YET.

My friend had this exact set. We tried installing it in his 124, the fronts we fine, the rears were not, not only did it rub, the fender would sit on the edge of the tires. The car is lowered by 2 inches. This set is best for 123's and 126's. Unless you're willing to flare your fender or roll them and push your camber to at least negative 3.
