1964 Mercedes-Benz 230SL Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
The 1964 Mercedes-Benz 230SL requires a 5x112 bolt pattern. Your stock setup runs 14x6 with a 30-millimeter offset. If you're ready to upgrade, compatible sizes range from 14-inch widths up through 17-inch options, including 14x6, 14x6.5, 14x7, 15x7, 15x8, 16x7, 16x7.5, 16x8, 17x7, and 17x7.5. This car uses a square fitment rather than staggered setup.
Only wheels with the 5x112 bolt pattern will fit your 230SL—other patterns won't mount. Your center bore measures 66.6 millimeters; if you select a wheel with a larger center bore, hub-centric rings are essential to ensure a proper fit. Going too aggressive with offset or excessive width can lead to rubbing against your fenders or suspension components, so verify fitment for your intended setup.
All wheels listed here bolt on directly to your 230SL and ship free throughout the lower 48 states. Heritage Wheel, Aodhan, Motegi Racing, Work Wheels, Niche 1PC, Petrol, Rotiform 1PC, and MRR all have inventory ready for this classic Mercedes fitment.
