15" bundts on a 1972 280SE 4.5

Hi, I have a 280SE 4.5 that currently has the 14" wheels. With tire availability being scarce, I was thinking of looking at the 15" Bundt style alloys. I found a company, Maxlite, that has a 15x7 wheel with a 23MM offset. Here is the web link:

https://shop-us.maxilite-wheels.com/Barock-Style-7x15

Do you guys know if a 23MM offset is correct? Maxlite said the wheels fit with no modifications. But, I've seen some info on the web that the OEM 15"s were a 30MM offset but can't confirm it.

Thanks, in advance,
Eric

Follow up to my original question. Are there different lug nuts used on the 14" steel wheels versus the 15" bundt's?
