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!

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
