Will they fit? - 83300d - 05-22-2012
Found a set of what I believe are 8 hole rims and winter tires off a 2000 C230 for a couple hundred dollars, I have seen similar rims put on members W123s so before they come home with me I wonder what it takes to make them fit.
Thanks for reading this, and I hope someone has some input on the subject.

Probably would need spacers. Check what the offsets are.
RE: Will they fit? - DeliveryValve - 05-23-2012
I think the offset on those 8 hole wheels is ET37.
You will need a least a 10mm spacer and longer lug bolts to make it work.
10mm is pretty thick, so I suggest using a hubcentric type of spacer to minimize vibrations.

RE: Will they fit? - sassparilla_kid - 05-29-2012
The latter set is definitely better
RE: Will they fit? - 83300d - 05-30-2012
Seems like the rims I really want keep slipping between my fingers - both sets were removed from ebay before the bidding ended. Not sure how I feel about them so will mull it over while away from home working.
Just not a big fan of the 14" stockers and maybe too anxious to be done with them! Will 17" fit even?
RE: Will they fit? - sassparilla_kid - 05-30-2012
I'm gonna put some 16X6.5" (not sure of the offset) wheels on my car, as soon as I get enough money to get them sandblasted and powder coated, and buy new tires haha.
RE: Will they fit? - 83300d - 06-20-2012
So still looking for a set of rims and tires to replace my Bundts, and came across a guy selling these Mandrus 17" off a 1999 CLK 320.
http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/ac347/CChief1976/Mandrus172.jpg
Now from what I could see off the Mandrus website these are the Millenium rims with a 32mm offset, but the owner isnt 100% sure. I have asked him to take some pictures of the back of the rims in the hope that they will have some offset info stamped on them.
Heading up to take a look at them next week so any input on the company and or fitment is appreciated THANKS
ALSO why cant I get the HTML link from my Photobucket account to work?????
RE: Will they fit? - 83300d - 06-21-2012
From what I can see they are ET32 - so 17X8J ET 32 will fit on my 83 300d? Probably need spacers from what info I can find
RE: Will they fit? - led-panzer - 06-22-2012
My 17's are ET 37 and fit without spacers, just needed longer lug bolts. It's a rim by rim type thing, they all fit different
RE: Will they fit? - 83300d - 06-22-2012
Thanks Led. Guess I will buy them and give them a try.
RE: Will they fit? - JB3 - 06-27-2012
you could buy my bastardized VW ATF rims that look like ronals, and spend money making an adapter.......
pics located here with adapter info I found.

They are currently on Ebay for cheap. rims, mounted good tires, balanced....
and no one wants them.

RE: Will they fit? - 83300d - 06-27-2012
Already bought the Mandrus set sorry.
RE: Will they fit? - 83300d - 09-23-2012
Found another set of rims that tweaked my interest.
Carlsson 19inch with a 40 offset so I assume they will DEFINATELY need spacers?
![[Image: carlsson_zps7c4419fc.jpg]](http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/ac347/CChief1976/carlsson_zps7c4419fc.jpg)
Its still for a 1983 300d
WOW must yet another set found on the same day. Think these would fit alot easier.

Getting these painted flat black might be the way to go.

personally, I like the carlsson ones better. they second set just remind me of rims you find on new toyotas.
RE: Will they fit? - 83300d - 09-25-2012
the 19s will fit on there without too much hassle?
