Will W210 elegence 15" wheels fit straight onto a 190E?

[nictry]

I had some spare elegance wheels from my old W210 15" OEMs and as my F in Law has a nice looking 190e the thought of putting them on his rather than the steel wheels seems like a great idea, however!

Will they fit also any idea what bolts would actually work as even though I can find a lot of bolts on ebay eg http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MERCEDES-ALLO...ryZ10398QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem they don't mention the 190E?

Thanks for any help you can offer?

They should fit Ok but check the sizes again. W210 Elegance wheels should be 16".

I am sure they are 15" from my old 1997 E240, will check but assume you are saying they will still fit even if 16"????

Any idea where to get the bolts for these alloys from?

AFAIK the ET numbers are different for the two cars. You might need to check though.

Offset relates to both the car and the wheel width.

The wheels should fit fine, as for bolts I suggest the standard ALLOY WHEEL bolts will work. Choose your tyres carefully, the W210 often came with quite wide tyres.

If you are struggling to find somewhere that sells the bolts remember that the stealership always does, but it will be slightly expensive (like £2 per bolt probably).

Also, make sure the bolts you use are not too long on the back wheels or you will mash the parking brake.

Thanks good news, just got to try and source the bolts now! I assume then if I go to the stealers I need to ask for alloy wheel bolts for a 190e rather than those for the w210 wheels? Hope that makes sense?

Will do
