15" Wheels for a 85' 300SD
I am now the second owner of a beautifully maintained 1985 300SD. However, I would like to change out the 14" Bundt Alloys with a 15" Mercedes wheel. I prefer the 8 slot chrome wheels I see on 190s and w201s. The problem is this, I cannot find a straight answer on the Benz forums if there are any stock 15" Mercedes that will "bolt" on correctly in relation to offset size.
Any insight would be appreciated.

Greasecar to help control my fuel tank source switches, etc. The CoPilot
comes with a fuel line and coolant line thermometer. I have noted that
Ken's system seems to heat up the oil about 65-70 degrees over ambient
temps. thus, if it is 35 degrees outside, my WVO after my final glow plug
heater and before my lift pump is about 105 degrees.
My research suggests that 150-160 degrees is good, but 250 degrees is even
better.
Even though i have noted no degradation in performance at 105 degrees, i was
