a quarter mile at a time
ask the dealer about centerbore size. MB should be 66.56 Otherwise, you'll probably need a 10mm spacer. If you have the large fixed piston brake calpers, there may be clearance problems as well. Hope this helps.

VW/Audi bolt spacing is also 5X112 but the offset & bore are wrong. I do not recommend you go this route. Too many problems. You can't get decent hubcentric spacers to fit so you will likely suffer vibration & not be able to do anything about it. Benz centre caps won't fit either.
Nothing is impossible - this is not wise.
