wheels

Hi, I am new to this forum, i have a 1991 300e 4-matic that i acquired earlier this year in june. I was wondering if anybody could send me some links to any performance products available for this car. I am interested in a new exhaust, intake, and possibly a body kit.

Unhappy

I guess not. Since the diameter is different and the ET measurement also.
The issue is that the wheels have to run freely in the wheel houses at any angle of steering PLUS the springs/shocks at their lowest position, and the top of the tires stay inside the wheel houses when going straight. Better ask your mechanic for additional details.
Especially the 4-matic is very sensitive on tire/rim dimensions, since the 4-matic control is based on rpm of the wheels.

I believe that W140 and W220 S-Class wheels will not fit other chassis. S-Class wheels have 14mm bolts and the rest have 12mm bolts. S-Class usually have very high offsets like 45 or 50 and W124 are around 35.

I have a set of Monoblock replicas intended for snow duty until I traded the car. This is nice size because the original monoblocks do not come in 16.
