The clearance/style of the wheel spoke determines whether bbk fits not widths and offset.

i have a set of stern st-2. the front are 18x8.5+25 and dont clear ls400 BBk by at least 6mm

with ls400's you need about +30 offset

but yeah it will depend on spoke design

if the wheel is a flat faced like a work euroline then you will need spacers or different offsets.

if its a concave wheel like a 5zigen fn01rc, rota p45, or other similar wheels it might fit.

btw the MB battles are out in +15 offsets

Judging by the front lip size of 2+ inches, there is a good chance that these front wheels don't clear LS4 brakes...I would call the wheel manufacturer directly to get an answer...
