Hi,

does anyone know if these SL55 wheels will fit a 1993 E320 cabriolet? I don't know if the sizes and or the bolt pattern is compatible.

Wheels are at..

thanks!

Softtop,

I doubt if these wheels will fit, the size quoted is 8.5Jx18ET30 front and 9.5Jx18ET33 rear. My 500E W124 has 8Jx16ET35s and MB flared the arches dramatically to fit these. Brabus used 8.5J fronts and 9.5J rears with the same overall offset for their 600E and they filled the flared 500E arches. I understood that the 8Jx16ET35 rims can be made to fit the standard W124 arches but it is tight and may need some arch bashing or almost certainly folding the lip back, which will not be compatible with the liner. The one quoted will stand another 11.5mm further out at the front than the 8Js and over 21mm further out at the rear for the 9.5Js so I guess they won't fit standard arches.

THanks guys,

Still...nobody has bid on them and there's no reserve to pretty good going if someone gets them for 250-300:)
