Luke
please let me know if these wheels will fit my 300e and if it will alter the ride at all.
It will of course have 205/50/16 tires on it.

Thanks
in advance

Not even close. Won't fit. Not to mention 205/50/16 is the wrong tire size. It should be 205/55/16.

Thanks as you can imagine im in Canada and the wheel/tire place says it will fit .I may be wrong on the the size of the tires but if 55 series is used will the actual wheel work in this car??

Thanks for the input.

Doubt it seriously.

It will fit if it is not a 16x8 wheel and the correct tire size is 205/55-16 or 215/55-16 but I would go with the 205

Thanks, Luke

I have the five spoke replica on 205/55/16 and I second that

I have replicas of these wheels with Michelin Pilots 225/50/16 on my 94 E420, but they also fit on my 87 300E. Very tight fit, but no rubbing. Looks great.

I'm happy that they work as planned on your car. I'm sure they look great.
