I've got a line on a set of 16" AMG Pentas (or so the ad says)... what's the proper offset and lug spacing for a '76 W116?

Thanks!

Lots of detail on that on history search on m-100.cc forum.

Getem.  If they are cheap and fit, Getem quick!

I did a lot of research on this topic some years ago. What I found out about offset and AMG rims can be read at this link.

Basically, 16x8" et11 offset will fit and upto 16x9 et13 should (I have never seen a W116 personally with this setup) fit in the rear only.

Our W116 can share rims with the 123, 107 and 126.

The wheels use a stud pattern of 5-112.

The bolt pattern is standard for Mercedes except for the W100 and W140 series.

Now, buy the wheels!  :)
