Thinking about these wheels for a...

1983 380 SEL. I want to put these in a 60 series 15, but dont know if they will fit on my current hub, which is running the 14's, the old ones that nearly every diesel benz came with. My currents are loosing their luster, and I dont know where to find newer ones. I am also looking to make the stock ones my snow rims, with snow tires.

I will attach a picture of my car (or one that looks like it) as soon as I can find one. Here is a pic of the wheel.

Thanks for any input!

Oh yeah...

Want to put 15x7's on it. Will 8's fit, or will it ruin the vehicle's look?

Thanks for input!

I don't think I saw a 5x112 bolt pattern.

Side not, I don't personally think American Racing wheels look nice on MBs. I would rather get 15 or 16" MB wheels ... I believe you have 195/70/14 or 205/70/14...I would try and look for some OEMs off an C or CLK that have 205/55/16 (if you have 195s) or 215/55/16s (if you have 205s) of an E.

For about $300 you get wheels and tires. Just make sure the Offset is right.
