I heard from a neighbor that wheels from a rear wheel drive Ford (Crown Vick etc.) will fit on a Mercedes. Checking the Discount Tire cross reference website I noted that the Ford size is listed as "5 X 114.3". Mercedes are typically 5 X 114, is that close enough? If true, this would open up the wheel selection possibilities a lot.

Mercedes are ALWAYS 5x112.

so no, they won't fit.

114.3 = 4.5"
114.3 does not = 112


not a chance

I'm in Australia and have rear wheel drive Ford Falcon wheels on my Mercedes. They fit perfectly even though the Merc is 112 and the ford is 114.3
I'm not sure why they just do unless Australia is different. Thanks

What years for the Crown Vic?

wobble lugs

This.

Wobble bolts will allow you to mount 114.3 or 100mm bolt circle wheels. You will need to verify offset works with your car and that center bore is larger than 66.6mm and get centering rings.

Verify bolt circle on those wheels. 114.3 will physically mount and bolt up to Benz hubs, but the lugs will not be centered and is unsafe.
