2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK280 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK280 uses a 5x112 bolt pattern. The stock setup runs 16x7 with 37mm offset up front and 16x8 with 30mm offset in the rear—a staggered configuration you can maintain or switch to square. Compatible sizes range from 16-inch through 18-inch, including 16x7, 16x7.5, 16x8, 17x7.5, 17x8, 17x8.5, 18x7.5, 18x8, 18x8.5, and 18x10, giving you flexibility across multiple widths and styles.
Only wheels with a 5x112 bolt pattern will fit this Mercedes. The center bore measures 66.6mm; if your wheel's bore exceeds that, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper fitment and balance. Wider or more aggressive offsets risk contact with the fender and suspension components, so stay within the compatible size range and avoid extreme offset changes from stock specifications.
Every wheel we list is verified to bolt on your SLK280 and ships free across the lower 48 states. We stock Heritage Wheel, Aodhan, Motegi Racing, Work Wheels, Niche 1PC, Petrol, Rotiform 1PC, and MRR—all ready to ship.
