18*9 on 500SEL

Hi all,

Can you tell me if these wheels will fit on my 500SEL.

Wheel size is 18*9
Offset 27mm
Tyre size 265/35/18's

500SEL is 1989

Many Thanks,

Tomson

since you are in the UK I would assume your '89 500sel is the chassis same as our 560sel ... if this assumption is correct, although the tire size is a little short in diameter it would work in the rear ... the wheel would also work in the rear but, neither would work on the front

Luke,

Thanks for the reply, would it rub the inside edge ?, is this a problem that could be cured by increasing the offset slightly ?, or is the wheel simplt to wide for the front of the car ?

Thanks again for your help, and yes the DEL is UK spec.

Tom
