Question for Luke

Luke, would the wheels on my coupe 235/60/16 fit into the 560SEL? I kind of doubt it, but just want to make sure. The rear wheels on the back are a bit wider than the fronts' on the coupe.

depends on the weather
the S500 wheel have an offset that is to high for the 126 and the tires on the S500 are too tall .... so, no they will not work

LOL, what happened to your elbow? Your wife is the one who has milk for her, not you! You'd need to pratice that 'Honey, baby is hungry' and roll back to sleep.

18x8 ET35 will work providing the wheel is desgned to utilize the 14mm lug hardware your car uses ..... but an 18x8.5 ET44 is a btter fit
