[W126 Coupe] Will wheels from w140 s500 work on 560sec?

[Divov]

Try them!
Beware wheel bolt lengths! There seem to be so many different wheel (nut) 
bolt lengths for different wheels.
If you have to get after-market wheel bolts, make double sure that the taper 
on the wheel bolt matches your wheel's taper. Use a bit of Prussian Blue 
dye.
When you fit the wheels, spin them to make sure your bolts are not too long 
and fouling. Conversely, make sure there is enough tread going in.
I 'think' you require 8 full revolutions of tread but check that figure. 
8???
