Fitting w140 19" rims to a w202 c43?

[MilesMurphy]

Hi All,

I'm creating a w202 C55 Amg with a few extras added. Will be a beast with 400bhp.

I've seen a set of 19 inch amg alloys from a w140 and i was wondering if anyone has fitted 19 amg on a w202 and give me any advice please.

I'm currently fitting H&R sport springs with a 25mm drop plus Bilstein shocks.


- Do i need wheel spacers?
- Rolling of the arches?

here's the tech spec of both cars

c43

PCD: 5x112
Centre Bore: 66.6
Off set: 37
Mounting: Bolt - 12x1.50


W140

PCD: 5x112
Centre Bore: 66.6
offset: 46
mounting: bolt - 14x1.50

the offset confuses me


Many Thanks
Miles

They won't fit as you can't get extended bolts in R14 head on M12 threads.

 

[MilesMurphy]

ok but surely they could be custom made?

You could probably get some made but why bother? Find some that fit properly with M12 bolts.

just cos i saw these 19 amg monoblocks and thought they would look cool.

Not many w202 have been fitted with 19 monoblock just 18

Plus what width are the new wheels

The C43 has the perfect ride with 17's, I wouldn't even want 18's on mine

You could always keep a set of 20’s in the boot and change them once you park. All the looks and none of the pain

Or just get some cardboard cutouts you could stick to them when you park, even easier
