My 1986 420SEL has a 5x112 bolt pattern (dur) all the wheels I want are 5x114.3. Now I know some mercedes guys use just 4 bolts and make them fit. Is there a way, without using a dangerous adapter, to redrill or convert my car to 5x114.3 (5x4.5) I can't find the information I need anywhere. Thank you. - Sam

 

what you are asking for will either require a wheel specifically drilled 5x112, or an adapter... there are semi-safe adapters built...

 

Who makes the semi-safe adapaters? These wheels are 18x11 +0... in the front....

 

well any adapter you use will LOWER the offset even more...

 

Yup thats exactly why I don't want to use an adapter. There used to be a site I knew of that was conversions for old jaguars. They just redrilled the hub and rotor. I can't find anything on it anymore

EDIT: Best I can find is:

That's weird there are so many nice Mercedes wheels out there.
