Spacer size for putting SLK Rims of my 126?
What size spacers will I need to put the SLK rims I bought for my 560SEC?
SEC currently has 15X6.5 et 25 wheels (205-60-15 tires). SLK rims are 16X7 et 37 (front - 225-55-16) 16X8 et 30 (rear 225-50-16). How much longer will the lug bolts need to be? Thanks

I got the rear wheels to fit my w123, but I think personally they need to be moved out 10-15 more mms. The front wheels definately need at least 10mm spacers, but I think they will look better with 15mm. Add the thickness of the spacers to the lug bolt length

Do me a favor, try the rear 16 x 8 x et30mm wheels on the back and the front and tell me how they look. I think 30mm is what we're supposed to use on a 126. I've searched this site for info on wheels and it seems 30mm comes up a lot more than anything else. If you have a dig camera, can you take pix for me? Send to "waybomb@nconnect.net". I want to upgrade my wheels but this is so confusing! Thanks Fred

The offset doesnt mean anything alone, its the offset and whe rim width put together because the center line changes.
