My 1984 500SEL W126 has 16 x 8 wheels from a later car on it. They ride and look great but
when you turn right, it rubs the (tie rod, I think). There is no room between the front rims and they are rubbing when you turn. Any
options and keep these same style rims on the front. The rims are alloys , Painted, and look like the standard rim from the late 86 to 90 era. Any help? or feedback?

Mercedes has used several different offsets in the last 20 years. The offset for your model isn't the same as the newer model SL, I'm sure that Tire Rack could sell you the correct offset wheel. O.E. Wheels are marked with the size & offset.
