I have a 1986 300SDL with stock Chrome Wheels on it. I was wondering if I put a proper sized tire on it, if the ML 16in wheels would fit on my car. I am not a huge chrome fan, and I like the updated 5 spoke style of that wheel. Id like to put a bigger wheel on the car, but I want smething that does not scream... new E or S Class wheel on an old car... Any input on reasonably priced options would be much appreciated!

Thanks
Aaron

the lug diameter is different for one but it should bolt up. thats one combination i've never tried.

I am having very similar issue. I have a 1990 300TE, got myself some near new 2003 ML320 wheels. The bolt pattern is the same...but there is a significant offset difference from my W124. It is about 20mm from what expert spacer dude calculated. Right now, those wheels will NOT bolt up without a spacer. And...being 8 inches wide...they will stick out almost an inch past the fender line. I put some Goodyear Eagle 205-55 and they look snappin'.
Recommendations have pretty much all been to buy wheels that already have the proper offset, which I will most likely do. Gotta see what I can sell these for first. money money money
