Will these sl wheels fit on a 208?

ima55r2 · 07-29-2003, 12:05 PM

and without any additional work? It sounded like 265s were a problem on some forum member's cars, but maybe these might have the right numbers.

Fronts are 255/40/ZR18 on 18 X 8.5, offset 30mm and 285/35/ZR18 on 18 X 9.5 with 33mm offset for the rears.

They are the turbine wheels with P-Zeros and on eBay now.

Dont think so. Tires are WAY too wide. And the bolts have different sizes between W208 an d R230.

Thanks!

Those wheels looked like the DTM version and would have been a good deal.

Anyone have a lead on a wheel like below?

thats strange...

i had the old AMG SL wheels on my W208 CLK320 and they were exactly the same sizes u mentioned.

the wheels were 8.5x18 front and 9.5x18 rear. I used 235/40ZR18 and 265/35ZR18's.

Same on my CLK430. I thought the wheels were the same from the 219 to the 230. Tires are too big anyway.

He is talking about the new R230 SL55 wheels that have 14mm lugs. The old R129 SL wheels have 12mm bolts. It is not impossible, but not recommended.

Thanks for pointing that out. Definately would not recommend using them without getting the correct aftermarket lugs.
