1997 Mercedes-Benz S320 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1997 Mercedes-Benz S320 uses a 5x112 bolt pattern shared across both LWB and SWB variants. The stock setup runs 16x7.5 front and staggered 16x8 rear, both at 51mm offset. You can step up through 17-inch and 18-inch sizes in matching widths and offset, or go aggressive with 19x10 wheels if your build calls for it—all sizes maintain that staggered front-to-rear configuration your S-Class was designed for.
Only wheels with 5x112 bolt pattern will fit this Mercedes. The hub bore measures 66.6mm; if your wheel's center bore exceeds that, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper seating. Wider wheels and more aggressive offsets risk rubbing fender lips and suspension components, so verify fitment specs before ordering, especially when experimenting beyond the factory setup.
Every wheel we stock for your S320 bolts on cleanly and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Heritage Wheel, Aodhan, Motegi Racing, Work Wheels, Niche 1PC, Petrol, Rotiform 1PC, and MRR all offer sizes that fit—plenty of styling options to refresh your classic sedan.
