Will 2004 E Class 4Matic Wheels fit a 1996 Non 4Matic E Class?

[COLLIN380]

Hello,

I would like to know if stock 18" wheels off a 2004 E Class 4Matic will fit my 1996 E Class?

Thanks,

Alex

it would be helpful if you posted the wheel specs. roughly speaking, it wouldn't
be a natural fit because the 211 uses 14R ball seat whereas the 1996 uses 12R.
it may be tempting to re-use your bolts with the 211 rims but if you do, under-
stand that the smaller ball seat will not provide necessary bearing surface contact.
you should consider picking up hybrid bolt = 12mm diameter shank with 14R ball
seat from RADUSA or OTISLA . be sure you use the proper length bolt
for the 211 rim - measure 2x buy once.
