Yep, look strange, i. e., not look right for that vintage MB, but we're all
different; that's why we have different names.

This short answer is: no.
They will bolt up, but the offset will be wrong. You need spacers like
these:

Despite having done this myself, I agree that they're going to look
strange.
Even 8 years ago, those W220 wheels were dirt cheap. Cheap stock wheels
from the 90s and early 2000s are not uncommon since they were on so many
cars, and so many people upgrade them.

Probably an old question but I'm a "new" guy to the list so here goes.
Have an 82 300D and an 83 300 SD both with stock "as issued Mercedes
wheels".
Found a set of 16 inch wheels from later Mercedes [tire shop owner
doesn't
know/remember which model they came from] perhaps late 90'ish.
Will the back spacing and lug pattern fit on the early model 300's ???
Anyone done this? How about wheel well clearance with the 16 inch tire?
Thanks in advance
