Do these 16 x 8 R129 wheels fit on the W123?

Does anybody know if these wheels would fit a W123 provided spacers are used? If I do need spacers, what size spacers do I need?

What about the lug bolts? What kind of lug bolts do I need?

I've seen somebody put these on a W126.. that is why I'm wondering.

be sure to check bolt size, 12 or 14mm?

also be sure to check bolt (or lug) size.

many older cars/wheels are 12mm.
many of the newer/bigger are the larger 14mm size.

i almost made this mistake on some 16" wheels that were 14mm. whereas my 202 takes a 12mm bolt.

R129s have 12mm bolt holes because they have a lot of 201 and 124 parts in their suspension.

140 cars usually have 14mm bolts because they are so big.
