Default Re: wheel fit ment

OK appears to be some confusion here. The Crossfire and the Mercedes SLK320/SLK32 are all on the Mercedes R170 platform. The wheel bolt patterns and hubs are the same 12x1.5mm 5x112. 67mm hub.


I have had my Crossfire coupe with 6-speed for going on four years. It is an Autocross/GT car. I just bought the SLK320 last year (I like the retractable hardtop have a fabric roofed roadster). Interiors are the same except for color and badging. SLK has white gauges which I find easier to read.


Had a spare set of Crossfire wheels and tires so tried them on the SLK. Ride was way too rough so put the original 16" wheels back on with one size larger BFG Comp 2s. Ride is more suited to a cruiser now.


So know the Crossfire wheels work on the SLK. What I do not know is if the SLK wheels will fit the Crossfire, my concern is clearance on the calipers and rotors but both seem to use the same calipers and rotors.
