rims size
 

hi all,

does anyone know if 14 inch rims off a w201 will fit a 91 420SEL? i've got a good set of 14 inch rims/tires (manhole cover ones) that came off a 190E that i would like to fit on a 91 420 sel (it's got the 15 inch manhole cover ones)

thanks

I do not believe so. The 14" ones won't clear the brake rotor/caliper.

I know the older 14" bundts from the early 126 chassis do not fit the later 126s.

Also I believe the offset if wrong for the 201->126. 201's were 44-49ET, 126's were ~23ET I think.

thanks for the info; i actually had those w201 14's on my 83 300SD, but it originally came with 14 inch bundts. i kinda figured they wouldn't fit the 420SEL but wanted to make sure

They will fit in the rear, but as Tom says, the front brake increased in size for 86 and requires 15" wheels.

Offset is incorrect.
W201 is around offset 41 - 49.
W126 is around 15 - 25.
