will these fit a W202

mickl · 06-09-2004, 11:31 PM

friend of mine has a C180 W202 with steel wheels and want to fit some alloys on.

he's been offered a set of alloys of a W210 E class, same as the ones on here Alloys Before and After

would they fit the C180?

they won't fit because the offsets (ET numbers) are different

pluggers · 07-09-2004, 10:28 AM

They fit mine ok.
Mine have an ET of 41

mickl · 07-09-2004, 10:43 AM

ok, it's a draw at the moment 1 all LOL

I did the same thing a few years back, the offset is different, and the wheel is wider, should normally be 7" for a c-class but its 7.5. If the e-calss ones come wityh tyres, they would also be the wrong size, the profile would be too big.
Having said that I did a straight swap, and it worked fine for me, larger tyres as well (probably ment the spedo reading was slightly out).

the alloy wheels come shod with 215x55x16 tyres at the moment. Rims are 7.5jx16 ET 41

he currently has 195x65x15 on steel rims

aka$h · 07-09-2004, 11:55 AM

Same as what I had on my c-class, swap them over they should be fine.
A second opionion on that anyone?

pluggers · 07-09-2004, 12:02 PM

215x55x16 on mine as well.

thanks guys

They will go, any difference is very minimal, the offset is lsightly different but slightly wider so it has to have a lower offset anyway...

GregE240 · 09-09-2004, 02:27 PM

Hopefully they are in better condition than mine were! (he says with shame)

Look a bit better now though....

mickl · 09-09-2004, 09:35 PM

well he got them. not bad £120 for 4 with tyres good for a few thou miles yet. Couple of scuffs on them but respectable enough.

cheers for help guys.

just need to find AMG monoblocks for mine now LOL
