5x112 bolt pattern will fit. Offset on wheels? Make sure they are compatiable to your vehicle...

The bolt pattern is fine but the center bore is where you lose. We have a 66.56mm center bore and they have a 57.?mm center bore. They can use our wheels with an adapter center bore hub ring that will fit right into our wheels and then adapts to a smaller hole to accommodate their smaller bore. But we can't do it with their wheels because you have to bore out the center bore to 66.56 at a local machine shop or wheel repair shop can do it. That's the only way.

Hmm..I guess CERTAIN wheels are interchangeable between audi's and benz's cause I've seen some switching from benz's to audi's and audi's to benz's...And yeah I think that's a civic type r lip on CLK MAN's car.

from the first time i saw his front i knew it was a civic type r lip because i have the ek9 before with the lip, that's how i was able to identify, but to be honest that lip looks ill on clk i'm thinkin' of doing the same.... silver though creativity... works!

Yes it is a Type R Lip but for the Accord I think. It was something that was just laying around this shop I go to a lot and they pointed it out to me becuz I was sick of my Brabus look and we just held it up in place and it looked different and very aggressive to me so I said lets do it. I wanted something that nobody had on a W208 and I got it.

I think it looks great. The only thing I think that should have been done is line up the edges a little better but it still looks good. I may end up lining it up again and repainting. It's a fairly easy job @ $100.

The only way that could happen is if the center bore was huge on the wheel you are talking about and the hub rings that adapt to make them fit and interchangeable were used each time for a custom fit. Those hub rings are at every wheel shop you go to for every adaptation you can think of.

But there is no way you can fit a wheel that was specifically made to an Audi center bore to go on a Benz without resizing the bore to our specs. But the bolt pattern is fine.
