5x112 to 5x114.3 Wheel Adapters?
Anyone used them before? Rather than selling my 5x114.3 wheels off my Lexus, and buying a new set for the W212 (5x112), I was considering these bolt pattern adapters as an alternative. Who sells them anyways?
Btw, Im not willing to drill out my wheels and use wobble lug nuts...Iv'e actually done that before on another set...and it still has some shakes.

they have to be custom made with your specified width... Also I imagine our wheels are hubcentric... not sure if we use lug nuts or bolts... basically everything factors into making a set of adapters. I haven't looked into wheels or removed wheels on the mb yet so forgive my ignorance... I would call a shop and talk to them, you will need to know the offset, width, and tire sizes to make sure there is no rubbing issues and that the wheels can fit with adapters... Adapters I believe will run approximately $360-$400 for front and back. They are safe by the way, just make sure you use all the right material and the adapters have the correct specifications.

Depending on the offset you need, the spacers are usually 15-20mm thick.
A stud conversion to 12mm with wobble nuts might be the best. I ran like that on my E cab. Worked perfectly and I did not have to drill the hole any bigger.

Only MBs - the best or nothing
As mentioned above, adapters will be at least 20mm. So assuming your "Lexus" wheels are 40mm offset or less, will make your "adaptable" wheels with offset of 20mm or less - way too low and not usable for W212.
So unless you use wobble bolts (which you said you wont), the next most economical action is to replace the wheels.

I know this is a old thread, but where can I can wobble bolts, i have some 19inch bbs lm reps, and will be adding a 2010 mazdaspeed3 to the family, the bolt pattern on the rims is 5x112 and mazda is 5x114.3
I was wanting to put the lm reps on the mazda.
