[W126 Coupe] 2 Questions Wheels

[airedale at sbcglobal.net]

The wheels may have the wrong offset. Here is what Luke at The Tire Rack said when I ask about the interchangeability of the wheels on a 560SL and 560SEC.
" The OE wheels for those cars are interchangeable but there was a 2mm
difference in their specs .... SEC = 15x7 ET25 and SL = 15x7 ET23."
The ET number is the offset and should be stamped on the wheel somewhere.
Best Wishes,
John

  No. the wheels are 16".  Tires are 235/60/16s.  Have been looking on the MB Coupes website and noticed I couldn't find any SECs with this particular style MB wheel.   Guess there's a reason for that.  Definately need to address the wheel rub, (tire rods on both sides rub slightly against the bottom lip of the wheel) before I swap the tires, just incase I go with a different wheel.
