1984 Mercedes Benz 380SL
560SL wheels going on 380SL problem


Hello, I recently purchased a set of 560 SL wheels and I am putting them on my 1984 380SL. The front hubs metal dust caps are sticking out of the wheel center caps so I had to remove the center caps the wheels to fit them. Has anyone encountered this problem? I have seen several 380SL with 560 SL wheels so I am wondering how everyone is fitting these. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

In the other thread you started you stated the ET was 49. 560SL wheels are 15x7 ET 23.

500SL
Did the same for my 85 380sl, and the 560 rims fit perfect, the front 2 wheels have some sort of built in metal dust cover, so, make sure you put these 2 in the front.
Had mine powder coated for $60 each..turned out fine.

center caps attached no problem on 85 model 380sl
