Default Can these Mercedes wheels be made to fit?

These wheels are 5 x 112mm but our bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3mm. Can I safely use lug wheel adapters to make this work?

Thanks ahead of time.

Yes, you can buy some bolt-on pcd adapters to run those wheels, but they'll probably be at LEAST 20mm thick. The offset on those is 43, so you have some room to play with, but it up to you if it's worth it. Good adapters will be another couple hundred bucks.

There's tons of wheels that fit the car that look similar to those. And at a cheaper price. But those will fitt with adapters or wobble lug setup if it's 5x112

google: wobble lugs . They will do the job! I have used them in the past with no issues.
