From 14-inch diameter all the way up to 17 inches, our selection spans multiple widths and finishes to match your vision for this iconic roadster.

1968 Mercedes-Benz 250SL Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1968 Mercedes-Benz 250SL rolls on a 5x112 bolt pattern with a 66.6mm hub-centric center bore. The stock setup runs 14x6 inches at a 30mm offset. You can upgrade to larger sizes—14x6.5, 14x7, 15x7, 15x8, 16x7, 16x7.5, 16x8, 17x7, or 17x7.5—all in square configuration, meaning matching width front and rear for balanced handling.
Since this Mercedes uses an exclusive 5x112 bolt pattern, only wheels engineered for that fitment will secure properly. Measure your wheel's center bore; if it exceeds 66.6mm, fit hub-centric rings to ensure precise centering and vibration-free operation. Aggressive offsets or excessive widths risk contact with fenders or suspension components, so verify clearance before committing to wider or stretched setups.
Every wheel we list is confirmed to bolt on your 250SL and qualifies for free shipping across the lower 48 states. Heritage Wheel, Aodhan, Work Wheels, and Rotiform 1PC are among the premium brands currently stocked and ready to ship.
