107 bundts on my 113?

[zakkkk]

I needed new tires for my 83 280 SL and I wanted to increase the wheel size to 15 inch. After looking for 15 inch bundts I bought a set of "new style" 15x7 560SL rims from Adsit that came with new lug bolts. The wheels look great and the new 15 inch tires greatly improved the ride quality over the old hard 12 year old rubber.
So now I am thinking of getting new 14 inch tires for the bundts and installing them onto my 1967 250 SL- 113. I under stand that in later model 113's the bundt wheel was an option. I would give the steel wheels and hub caps a rest for a while.
My question is will the lug bolts from the bundts that were on the 107 fit onto the 113 when I install the bundts onto it ?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
jz

1) Does the 113 have wheel bolts, or studs & nuts?
2) If bolts, remove one wheel, compare the bolt threads to the threads of the bolts for the Bundt wheel, and if the same, screw a Bundt bolt into the 113 hub to confirm.

An answer you obtain through your own effort will be the most satisfying and reliable one.

I'm pretty confident a 1967 w113 uses lug bolts (as the w111 apparently switched from studs to bolts in 63/64).

Typically it's a wheel that requires a certainly length bolt, and most MB cars have a standard depth of about 3/4" that the lugs should stick out the back of the wheel. Steelies: 21mm ball seat 12x1.5. Bundts: 29mm ball seat 12x1.5. 15-hole 15" and 16" 15-hole (usually): 39mm ball seat 12x1.5.

That's what I think.

My 250 SL has lug bolts. You are right Frank. I will just jack up the pagoda this weekend and try on a bundt and bolt for size.
I have seen a bunch of 113's sporting bundt wheels and like the look.
Jeez the 205/70/14 inch tires are cheap too - but a small selection.

Fonz, the 15inch, 15 hole 560 SL wheels I bought came with extra long lug bolts just as you said.

Thanks gents.
