2003 SL 500
Wheels upgrade

Hi guys, I've just brought a 2003 SL 500 and I want to upgrade the wheels but don't know a thing about cars. I've found a nice set of wheels but was wondering if anyone could help me work out if they'd fit on the car before I order them. The fitment details for the new wheels are;
Front tyres 19" x 8.0j
Rear tyres 19" x 9.0j
P.C.D 5x112
ET 45 front
ET 52 rear

Check here, there's a good tab that helps with wheel fitments. You will find all the MB sizes that they found good for the car. Although it doesn't mean you can't go different size.

Long story short try to find wheels with ET (or offset) under 40 (mm) - front / rear, to avoid suspension problems SL and CLS are pretty picky when comes to offset
