Greg,
The M Benz in the 90's were mostly 6 in x 15in but had different offset between the different models . Each wheel is stamped with the offset near the stud holes. ET 31 fitted C180/220/280 ET 49 190E ET 40 w124 220/280 1994 onwards I understand the ET 31 are the best fit on a 401/3 but best to try before you buy , check clearance of the tyres with the wheel arch on full lock . Also check clearance of the steering knuckle to the rim on full lock . If you make and fit a few hubcap fixing pins the wheels with hubcaps look very similar to the Standard 4.5 x 16 Bristol wheels , maybe at parking speed it will be heavier than original . The other consideration is the overall diameter of the 15 in tyre will be smaller than original There is now a good selection of 185 x 16 tyres available now , especially in UK , why bother fitting 15 inch wheels Geoff |
