will it fit? new rims/tires for 97 SL500
Hello,
I am new here, so I hope I'm not violating any custom. I have a 97 SL500 with stock (non Sports Package) tires. I want to replace those (just got the car, old rims dinged up, etc, etc...) The Sports package setup spec'd for the car is as follows: 8X18 ET31 245/40ZR18 9x18 ET35 275/35ZR18 I haven't found any of those yet, but I did find some newer ones from a SL55: Rims: 8.5x18 ET30 Mercedes Part # A230 401 20 02 Tires: Pirelli P Zero Rosso 255 40 18 95Y Rims: 9.5x18 ET33 Mercedes Part # A230 401 21 02 Tires: Pirelli P Zero Rosso 285 35 18 95Y I understand I will need lugs with a larger 'ball' since the bolts were thicker on the SL55, but other than that, will these fit without a lot of drama? Thanks for any help you can provide. --Mike |

Just to close this out, yes, the later rims fit the 97 SL500 just fine.
8.5x18 ET30 Mercedes Part # A230 401 20 02 9.5x18 ET33 Mercedes Part # A230 401 21 02 Fitted with Bridgestone RE760 tires (245/40ZR18 front, 275/35ZR18 rear) You do have to use a M12 bolt with e R14 ball. Thanks, Mike |

Front 245 40 ZR18 8J X 18 H2 ET31 HWA 129 401 01 02 ( Hollander 560-65239 ) Rear 275 35 ZR18 9J X 18 H2 ET35 HWA 210 401 02 02 ( Hollander 560-65240 ) The 8" and 9" combo is also used on the late 90's E55, late 90's E320 used 8" front wheels all around Near as I can tell, the SL sport package consists of different front / rear bumpers , different lower side trim and the 18" wheels. |
