1983 380sec bolt pattern?

I need to know if I can put the rims from my 2003 e500 or my 2003 c240 on my 1983 380 sec.

All Mercedes, except the G-wagen and Sprinter, are 5 x 112mm bolt pattern.
All use 12mm bolts, except the 140, 215, 220, and ML bodies [they are 14mm]

Yes, you can swap the wheels. BUT watch out for the offset difference!
Offset is the ET number on the inside of the wheel. Try to keep it close to the original.

Model P.C.D. Offset C/Bore
All (except below) 5 x 112 35...42 66.5
SL models 5 x 112 18...25 66.5
A Class, Vito 5 x 112 45...50 66.5
Sprinter 5 x 130 45

I was thinking the same thing, but I guess I am just too lazy. Thanks for your input.
