5x114 on a w208??????
So as the title says 5x114.is it possible?if not then idk why do my lowenhart BR5s fit perfect on my clk?inside the rims they say 5-114 3 is that the same as saying 5x114?today I google w208 lowenhart BR5 and I saw a guy on our forum that bought the same wheels and had the same issue with the wheels saying 5-114 3.I drove the car today and it was smoother then all the rims I've put on the car since I got it back in 2007.it does have slight shake on the highway but noting really noticable unless your **** like me.from 1-10,id say a 1.can anybody explain this issue to me please thanks.

Mercedes bolt pattern is 5x112. The wheels' bolt pattern is 5x114.3. They fit because the difference in bolt pattern is only 2.3 mm apart. It means that each bolt hole is off by approximately 1mm. They will fit, but you get that slight vibration at higher speeds because the wheel is not 100% centered unless the wheels are hub-centric. People who run 5x114.3 wheels on a 5x112 hub typically use wobble bolts to make sure that the wheel bolts center the wheels onto the hub.

Hey what's up vip,I wouldn't think you'd need them if the holes were drilled precise but I would buy them so the rims would have a perfect fitment.im running 5x114 lowenharts with no problem.
