Well measure something on the car lets say the fuel door in real life. Then take that over the size in the picture....... Remember math class?

are you really going to be able to tell the difference of 1 inch with a fuel door?

you'll need at least a 5mm spacer for the rears so it doesnt rub on the struts and springs

well You could if you spent enough time doing it i was not serious about doing it to actually figure it out. but technically possible but in practice on that small of picture too easy to make a mistake.

come on i am horrible at math and remember this
lets say the fuel door is 10 inches and 1 inch in picture and the wheel is 4 inches in picture so

1/10 X 4/W


And find W

W= 40
So the wheel would be 40 inches lol

youll need new lug bolts. I dont know the specs for the OEM SL500 lug bolts. but you'll have to use the ball seat radius from the SL500, shank length from the SL600, thread from your bolt (12mm x 1.5), and 17 Hex.

Also when you get the spacers for the rears you'll have to add the extra length of the spacer to the shank length. ie if you get 5mm spacers youll add 5mm to the shank length.
