I have a 94 E32O wagon w/ H&R springs and I've been looking around for an inexpensive set of 16" wheels to get some more rubber on the road.

I have found a guy with a set of std 99 E320 16X7,5 wheels w/ 41mm offset and 215/55-16's tires mounted.

I do not see these wheels pictured in the "W124 wheel list" http://www.gdtm.net/TiresAWCS124.htm
so I was wondering if anyone knows if they will fit.

I do see other wheels in that size and offset listed....but just wanted to see if there is any experience and especially with the 215/55-16's on there. That's quite a big jump in section width from the oem 195's.

Oh anyone seen photos of these on a w124. Hope they won't be too ugly! Invisible is okay...but....

Thanks,

i think they will fit...
if they look like this though, i would pass, they're so ugly:



i'm pretty sure W140 wheels fit out cars, i would much rather get a set of those if you were looking for 16's...

STLe320

the wheels on my e320, are 215/55/16. i got them off of a 99 e430...they fit perfectly, and i got them for about 350 bucks

Yep those are the wheels. They really are ugly arent they. =)

I'm guess with my low budget and a desire to remove some sidewall flex and gain a bit of section width...the looks seem to come last in my list.

I def want to keep a very OEM look. I really like your wheels STLe320, but have not found any of those wit tires in my price range( $350 or less).

My 195/65-15's still have plenty of tread.....maybe I will keep looking. And I will try the W140 wheels as well.
Thanks!
Steve

Go for 17s. Plenty of sidewall but still look cool.

The wheels I was thinking about look like the ones ZedStyle pasted in his comment. Oh, now I'm in trouble...those on craigslist GA don't look bad...but more than I budgeted.

They are fairley close. Hmmm

Oh, now I'm in trouble. Finding these makes me really want to get some 17's.

Darn I wish I had the weekend free....I would be on the road to NJ right now!!

When it comes to car modding, hold out and save up the cash to get what you REALLY want.

I have a set from a 2001 E320 and they fit perfectly and look much better than the old flat style wheels.

Here is a pic of mine before the 215/55/16's went on:

I have the same rims STLe320 has. Paid ~$200 for the rims. They were off a 99 E430 I believe. No fitment problems at all. Tire size 205/55/16.
