I think you'll find that W124=W201 ≠ W126=W116=W123
W124 can go on W126 with spacers, but not the other way around.
Thanks for the info, Mitch. I was planning on looking it up in the Wheel
Guide, ver 2.6, on mountainmarketingwv.com that someone (Fred?) posted
recently.
You can find part numbers for some 16" rims here, then look up specs elsewhere
to see what the offset is.

On option is to just sell the 420 with new top of the line tires on it and dump
the crappy 16" tires on craigslist for $25 each or something. Then maybe pick up
a set of 14" or 15" W201/124 rims and put pure snow tires on them for the 320.
Another option is to sell the 420 with the 320's wheels as you mentioned
earlier. Are the 420 wheels in comparable condition to the Snookmobile?
That was a very clean car the last time I saw pics of it.
You can still buy good studable tires in 185/70-14:

Seems like Curt has a set of 14" 1984 190d rims. Just make sure they'll clear
the brakes on your car.
