Why mercedes wheels with same bolt pattern not fit to another mercedes? I buy AMG wheels from C280 with 5x112 pattern and same 66.5mm hub but i cant install on my '85 SL 380. There is any way to put those in, or i have to sell im back?

Most likely your wheels are hitting the tierod or the tires are hitting the wheel well due to the offset being too high. If you had done a little research on wheel fitment, you'd probably know that offset is pretty important, be it just the PCD and centerbore. I wouldn't recommend going to the expense of getting spacers or adapters, but that could work.
Also, take note that different wheel bolts were used on different cars, and the wheel bolts for 12x1.5 probably isn't going to fit correctly in a wheel that was designed for 14x1.5.

What do you mean "1.5 mm off holes"?
Are the bolts too short? Too long?
Do the hub holes not align with the wheel holes?
Please explain.

Most of the cars "evolved" from low offset wheels (in '80 and before) to higher offset to allow for improvement in suspension, steering geometry and braking.
I am still having trouble visualizing the problem .....
If the wheels are truly 112x5, the hole centres should coincide.
Perhaps you are talking about a difference in hole diameter? Later model MB wheels are drilled for 14 mm lug bolts instead of the 12 mm used on 107s. There might be adapter bolts available. Fonzi?

If later 14 mm, the hopes would be too big. Likely possibility. He would need some sort of washer.
The OP should post a picture.
Maybe the wheels are some aftermarket junk that was improperly drilled.
Maybe they are nissan wheels that have nearly identical center bore, but are 5x114.3

These wheels? ALY65202 Mercedes C280 Wheel Silver Painted #2024010902
Everything I can find shows the bolt holes should line up. Every bolt I find for a C280 shows 12x1.5 which is the same as the 107.
I can't find the bolt length for the AMG wheels. Some show 40MM like the 202 400 00 70 but say not for AMG wheels.

I would assume the offset on those is about 37 and they should bolt on ok.

If they are these wheels I have no idea why they do not line up. ALY65202 Mercedes C280 Wheel Silver Painted #2024010902
Maybe the wheels are not marked correctly
