my buddy is having some financial issue and wants to sell me his 3 piece chrome with black lips 20" ashanti rims for 1000 bucks off his cls 2007 benz. they are in tip top shape no rash at all. but off coarse i know our cars are 5x114 , i did some searching and they said they will work. i havent bolted them up to the car. but with this being a great deal i was willing to do these steps to get them to work . what do you guys think.

i am leaning towards getting them cause he needs money for a lawyer cause he just got a dwi yesterday so i kinda want to help him out but i have had bad experiences loaning money. so he offered up his rims since they are just sitting in the garage. dont wanna take them and it them in my garage though lol. i want them to go on the car


here is what i found in a search

OK...as most of you may know. Hartmann Wheels and Achtuning specialize in Volkswagen and Audi applications. Also, as some of you may know the bolt pattens on a majority of Audi/VW and Mercedes Benz vehicles have a 5x112 bolt pattern. The 5x114.3 bolt pattern is commonly found on Japanese manufactured vehicles such as Honda/Acura, Nissan/Infiniti and Toyota/Lexus. These steps will show you how to fit the 5x112 wheels to youre 5x114.3 application!!!

1. Make sure that the wheels you are fitting to your car have a center bore that is larger than the hub size on your vehicle.

2. Double check the offset of the wheels and whether the calipers on the car will not hit the back of the wheel when bolted up.

3. Purchase hub rings that will go inside the wheel and fill the gap between the wheels hub diameter and hub on the car. These can be purchased places or machined for a custom fit depending on the sizes.

4. Lastly, purchase CENTERING LUG NUTS. These lug nuts have a floating cone seat on them that will allow for the proper pressure to be put on the wheel in the correct spot because the bolt patterns are offset just a bit.

5. Lock everything down, make sure you have tires on the wheels, air in them and take it out on the town!!!

This all came about because a few employees here have a Toyota truck and Lexus...both 5x114.3 and one is running 5x112 wheels and the other will be soon! Also, this will increase the options that are available to either car community and could provide that DIFFERENT look that everybody wants for their vehicle. Keep it in mind when you are looking for wheels next. You just might not be out of luck!!!! Take care.
