SEL 420/SL 500 rims fit on my 300E?

as the title states, can 16" rims from a 92-99 SEL 420/ SL 500 fit on my 93 300E? Bent one of my rims badly and found a great local deal on a set of 4 with tires.

thanks,
Gil

Thumbs down

The SL rim offset won't work for your 300E. Its 34mm for the stock 8x16s for an SL/500E.

You can, of course, bolt them up...but it would look not so good.

...or...buy the great deal rims and sell them , then buy the right rim(s) for your 300E. Is there a chance you could test them on your car?....its wierd but SL EvoIIs rims in 17" with that same 34mm offset works on my friends 190E (with the fenders rolled)...I know itsa different chassis but they aren't all that different and most stuff like hubs, brakes, rotors, etc bolt on W124, 201, and 140s.

Alot of folks, well, some folks want them rims because they are 'forged' rims....very strong and relatively liteweight as MB rims go. Do they come with the no longer available new extended lug bolts?

the seller said i could come down and try it on.. but there is no mention of the extended bolts, i think the rims and tires are the only things for sale.
