Default nonononono! won't work!

I've tried putting MB wheels on an urS4 before.. the offset is WAAAAY different. Also, the hubs are different diameter. Don't remember if the MB hubs were larger or smaller, but at the least you'd need to fabricate hubcentric rings. If they're smaller, then you're totally hosed.

Damn. I'd keep that tidbit under my hat if was you.

It's one thing to try those wheels, but quite another to admit to it =P

Default I wouldn't mind those wheels.

Nice set of 18" forged AMG wheels would be good at the right price.

Default heh... not my car, though

my buddy sold his Fuch's off his '93.. the engine was out of the car, so we just needed to put something on to keep it off the ground until his new wheels came in. We ended up putting it on cinderblocks. Funny story, it's still on blocks like a year later...

I've put Borbets off a 91 200 20V onto a 1990 benz 300TE wagon, no issues
