1983 Mercedes Benz 300sd Repair Question
Asked on October 23, 2008
1983 Mercedes Benz 300sd rims
Tires and Wheels problem
1983 Mercedes Benz 300sd Two Wheel Drive Automatic
I would like to jazz up from my stock rims. Is there a list of rims from other cars and car makers that will fit onto my car with out going to the after market and paying big bucks.
I would rather buy from the junk yard and save money but do not know what rims will fit my car from other cars.
Could I use a 15'' rim from another benz or car maker and go with a lower profile tire to stay within the required height. If so what whould that be or where would i find the info.
Please advise. Joe

I would suggest you find another Mercedes wheel you like. They will have the correct backspacing to not rub and will fit properly.Try tire/wheel shops. They usually have "take offs" from newer cars for a great price and will throw one on there so you can seeif you like it
