Will these rears fit my car?

I have 18x8.5's all around but I been looking for the same wheels with a lip in the rear. These are huge in the rear though 18x10!!!

Those S class wheels use 14mm lugs and they are not hub centric to a W202, so you would need hub centric rings. Really isn't a fix that I know of for the lug problem. You run the risk of experiencing vibration and/or weird noises due to the lug difference but I think that problem would be minimized if you did have the hub centric rings.

the only thing that will cause a vibration is not having hub centric rings which all newer style wheels have because so many wheels will fit so many different style cars, the 14mm verses 12 means nilch will not cause a vibration, it will be more important to know whether they are ball seat or conical seat. MBZ and all german cars are hub centric not lug centric

the biggest trick will be to get the wheel in the right location, if you could get the 10 in the rear i think we are talking 30mm range on the rear offset, i believe the 8.5 fronts should be in the 32mm range regardless you are using spacers all the way around,


the biggest risk is getting the 10 to fit no idea, i have sold wheels for many many years, on the 14mm lug many audis use 14mm and a after market wheel for a audi is the same as a mbz with same bolt pattern/offset
