Will they fit?

Will these wheels fit my 91 300te? Thanks for your prompt help!

I don't see why not......

The offset is 15 on these, on 124 rims it is usually 48 or 49mm. From this difference I guess they only fit with modification (spacers?).

According to Tires.com, the tire is exactly the same size as the OEM tire for my 300te. You think I still need spacers?

The size of the rims is fine - tires mount w/o problems. However with an offset of 15mm these rims will stick out of the fender of a w124. 15mm ET (Einpresstiefe=offset) is the number given in the auction. That said, I thought that all original 210 rims have an offset around 41, and that would probably be ok on a w124.
The offset number given at the auction may not be the correct one. Ask the seller to double-check the engravings on the wheels, there should be a ET.. number. Alternatively you might be able to find the ET using the MB part number provided. I am sure there are tables somewhere on the internet that list ETs next to MB part numbers - I have not found any doing a quick (3min) search.

Bruno,
Thanks for your help. I will check. I have the original rims on it now and they are just nasty. These would really clean up the look of this vehicle. Now, if I could only get the oil to stop leaking

[robaincltnc]

Oh, and if it needed spacers..is that bad news? Or a PITA? Thanks.

You won't be doing yourself any favors getting chrome-plated wheels.

Mercedes prohibits it because they leak.

I would prefer the stock rims that aren't chrome if I can find any cheap. Let me know if you know of any. The same ones on the 93+ e320wagons.

Thanks!

OK..find another set and they look nice..but he wants $ for them. I may could get them for 300 dollars. Will they fit and is this a GREAT price or average.
