Hey... not to be a downer guys... but I got a message saying these wheels came off a Chevelle. I would assume that means these do not have 5x112 PCD. Center bore can often be corrected with rings, and you can try wobble bolts if the bolt pattern is close, but...

Do you know the center bore? Might you be able to measure it for the forum?

5x4.5 = 5x114.3 I agree the difference is small. I've often questioned whether you could make wheels of this PCD fit will. I hadn't realized Wobble Bolts exist until a few months ago. Here's a link to a picture of how wobble bolts work: VWVortex.com - how do wobble bolts work

I'd definitely want to make sure the concentric rings are perfect. That's why I ask for the center bore is. That would allow the buyer to make sure they can get the rings and wobble bolts that are required to make these fit a Benz.

I don't know about a w126, but the tires are too big to fit on the front of an r/c107. I imagine it is possible that the 225/60/16 tires might have too much sidewall bulge to fit on the back of an r107 without rolling the fenders too. with 225/50/16 on 8x16et11 wheels, I measure an average of only about 14mm before my tires would get cut by the fenders. From what I understand, the taller the sidewall the wider the bulge. I think that's hard to measure without trying it out.

The outside front corners of my 225/50/16 tires will rub the back of the air dam when turning (always while turning and braking in reverse). So I know that the larger diameter (with the same wide-stanced offset) will be a problem on the front of an r107.

I bet they'd fit a Chevelle pretty well with no problems though. :)
