1997 Mercedes-Benz S420 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1997 Mercedes-Benz S420 uses a 5x112 bolt pattern and rolls on staggered wheels—16x7.5 up front and 16x8 in back, both at 51mm offset. You can upgrade to 17s, 18s, or 19s while maintaining that staggered setup, or go square if you prefer. Compatible sizes range from 17x7.5 and 17x8 all the way up to 19x10, giving you plenty of ways to customize your stance.
The 5x112 bolt pattern is your only option—nothing else will fit this Mercedes. Your wheel's center bore must work with the 66.6mm hub, so we supply hub-centric rings if a wheel's bore runs larger. Aggressive offsets or oversized widths can brush the fenders or suspension components, so verify fitment specs carefully when stepping up in size or going wider than stock dimensions.
Every wheel we ship is verified to bolt straight on your S420 and arrives free in the lower 48 states. Heritage Wheel, Rotiform 1PC, MRR, and Work Wheels are in stock now and ready to ship—find your perfect fit today.
