Chart would be great. So to make W204 wheels work on a W203 I just need 15-17mm spacers?

Yes and No:

Yes - correct, you do need spacers of 15+mm to fit W204 wheels on W203 cars.

No - in addition to spacers, since the bolts were also changed from 12mm to 14mm on W204, you'll still need 12mm bolts to fit W203 cars but with R14 head (instead of R12 one). I know these bolts are available, but not readily. So before buying wheels, make sure you obtain correct length bolts, including extra length for spacers, first.

What about 20mm et front wheels? Any reason that wouldn't work? Wheels are off of a 1999 e55 amg. Rears are 35mm et but are 10.5" wide.

I read post # 6 more than once. His response was very helpful and explained the changes that occurred with the w204. I then inquired about e55 wheels (w210/w211). What's the problem?

Very simple. All wheel info applicable to your model: bolts, size, offset has been posted numerous times. Your model is several years old and members have taken the time to post that info in the past. Quit being lazy and expect catering to your needs within your timeframe. STFF in your case will bring faster answers than posting and waiting.

Link - it pays to read
