Help! CLK Wheels on 500SL
Hi Guys,
Need some help locating wheel spacers or short lugs for my 1984 500SL. I am using 1999 320CLK wheels and the original lugs for the rear are to long to use with the CLK wheels. Does Mercedes make a shorter lug or where can I buy spacers? I need about 1/2 inch clearance. I appreciate any suggestions... Thanks, Alex

The short lug bolts used on the steel wheels and the aluminum wheels that use hubcaps are the correct length.

Thanks, ericdee...I think the rims look great on the SL too:-)
I appreciate the help, I went to the dealer and bought the short lugs for the rear wheels and they work great!

I like these wheels also, they are the only modern MB wheels that look good on an older car, IMO - but "dressier" chrome bolts exist, or at least plastic chromed caps, which are better and last longer than you would think. I've had them one a car for 3 years, no problems.
