This probably belongs in the wheel section, but there is more traffic of the experts here. Will the following wheel K1 8JX16H2 ET34 fit on my 83 300SD?

I have seen pictures of 16" CLK wheels on 126's as well and think they look like an updated version of the standard wheel. I believe their offset is 37mm.

Any advice given is certainly welcome.

Thanks

You can probably get an 8" wheel to fit a W126 with the proper offset (23). It doesn't appear that you'll be successful with a 34 offset............but, I haven't attempted it.

Here - look at this, then go out to the car and measure the difference.

I'd say the answer is NO.

That's a great resource Fred. Thanks for posting it.

I agree.......24mm is not available on the W126.

I was afraid that would be the answer, frustrating the few options out there.

http://www.tirerack.com has a selection of wheels with the correct offset. They even have a side picture of a 126, that you can apply a different color to, with the wheels selected on the "car".

No they will rub badly. You can run them with H&R spacers, but then they stick out.

Roll them!

Its amazing what wheels some people stick on these cars. 18in AMG's come to mind, I just don't see how they would fit. They must just rub all the time and people are dumb and just turn up the radio.

Figures the width is in inches and the offset in mm GRRRRR

They should fit. You will need a small 5mm spacer to install the bearing dustcap properly.

Look at the second post here.
