Hi Guys,
First post here as during my search for answers I couldn't get a definite answer to this question.
I have a 2002 ML 270 CDi, facelift version with the OEM 255 60 R17 ET52 wheels.
I picked up a set of 19" W164 wheels with the 255 50 R19 tyres and ET60.
When trying to fit them they wouldnt clear the brake calipers by a long shot.
Turned out I had to use 20mm hub centric spaces and 80mm bolts with about a 60mm thread length on them. These were sufficient to get 7 good full twists by hand and then tightened a bit more.
I took some pics but please excuse the quality.
I hope this helps someone searching in the future.

Before (OEM)
New wheels from W164 280 CDi
Spacers used (5x112x20mm thick)
Bolts used
Finished (needs good wash and polish I know, but I drive into building sites most days and today was no different!)
