<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=3>Can someone please tell me what is the wheel offset for a 1987 300E and what would I need to do if I have wheels with offset of 35mm?</FONT></P>

The offset for your car I believe is 25mm. You could use 10mm spacers to use the other wheels and have them fit corectly. If you do get spacers I caution you to find some good quality ones. The wheels on mercedes use the hub to center them. The spacers must fit snugly on the hub and center of the wheel. The bolts WILL NOT center the wheel. If it is not centered by the hub you will have a vibration and wheel balancing will not get rid of it.

Hi Spanky,</P>
Thanks so much for your quick reply! I am however, a little confused as having spoken with a MB dealer recently, they told me that the offset for that car is 49MM!! HELP!!</P>
Also, IF, the offset is 25mm as you mention, where can I purchase a spacer?</P>
