Wheels upgrade?
Trying to put 18"s instead of the stock 16"s, can they original bolts be used or are they to short??
The 18"s are Carlsson's 8and9x18" ET35 and can be fitted on W202 and W210.
I read that that the bolts are little bigger on the W211 and wheels of that type should not be used on older models!?!
Please help if you can, T

I bought Carlsson rims 1/16 last year and they sent me all the appropriate bolts and spacers...everything
So check with them if they have the rims u want for your car then it should´nt be any problem

Thank you very very much. Was starting to wonder if all W211 owners drive on 16" or 17" stock sizes. 
Carlsson recommends this offset ET35 for the W211 so I'm gonna take the HUGE RISK
of calling the interested buyer in for a test fitting 
Thanks again fellow Scandinavian
