will 6.5x14 bundts from SL fit a 83 300D?

Hi all,

I bought some 6.5x14 bundts for my 300D (to get rid of some big wheels with low profiles affecting the ride quality)

After I brought them home, I learned that there are the two types, 6x14 and 6.5x14..

Do I need to worry about the extra .5 or will they fit the 300D without a problem?

The place I got them from would probably take them back and swap em out for the proper 6x14s.

I was going to go with 195/70R14s.

Thanks!

they'll bolt right up, get 205/70/14's on them (correct 107 size US tires) you'll gain better handling on such a light car. The extra 0.5" isnt a problem.

Most benzes are relatively light.
