W123 wheel options?

[utopia]

Hi guys, I need some advice on possible alloy wheel options for my 1984 W123 200 model, it has the standard 14in steel wheels at the moment but I'd like a bit better handing.
Could this be achieved by fitting some shorter springs and larger wheels?
Are there any original later Mercedes alloys that fit my model, as I understand that there can be a lot of problems if the PCD and various other things are different.
Any advice or pitfalls will be greatly recieved.

You cant get shorter springs but you can use thinner rubbers at the top.

Your wheels use M12 bolts so the wheels would have to be pre 2000

would any pre 2000 Mercedes wheels fit? is there a max size to save any complications with steering etc?

the conversion sheet is in the link, the larger the tyre the thinner the side wall so that it ends up the same diameter

The ET is important and you cant deviate much
