I just bought an 87 560SEC. (It won't be delivered until Saturday). I don't really care for the stock wheels and would like to upgrade to newer Mercedes rims (from an SL or maybe mid to late 90s E-class). Anybody know what MB rims will fit without adding spacers, etc.?

Thanks

Uh, none.

All the later wheels have medium (35 or so) to high (50+) offset which will sit further in and have the potential to rub the suspension parts. The W126 uses low offset wheels, one of the hard parts of finding wheels for them. For compatible wheels, it's more like W123, W116, W115, R107, etc. -- models from the past (which had smaller 14" wheels).
