[W126 Coupe] wheel fit

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Rick:

Short answer is: NO.  You'll need hub-centric spacers.  On an SEC earlier
than 85 there is no fitment for the hub-centric collar without either
removing the collar from the spacer or grinding the hub down to accommodate
the spacer.  I can tell you that running the hub-centric is a smooth ride
but, the front wheels on my SEC had to be mounted just so to avoid
vibrations at high speeds.

If you need a set of 35mm offset rims and the spacers for the rear only, I
have em and they are for sale.
