AMG alloy wheels for W211 saloon

[VVC-Geeza]

Greetings, everyone.
I am the delighted owner of a W211 E220 CDI Avantgarde with an automatic gearbox. In excellent condition, I decided to indulge in a set of period-correct AMG wheels to complete the aesthetic. Could someone kindly elucidate why they do not fit? The wheel nuts from my regular factory 16-inch 5-spoke wheels are incompatible with the 18-inch wheels I purchased; therefore, if I attempt to use a different nut, it will not fit the hub, correct? Kindly assist; the images depict an attractive car, and alloy wheels would enhance its aesthetic appeal.
Thank you for your attention; I hope someone can assist me, as all the "alloy specialists" have recently disappointed me.

By the way, the 18-inch wheels originated from the 2004 E55, so they are indeed year-appropriate, which is somewhat perplexing to me.

Clarify the term "don't fit." Will not fit through the apertures in the wheels? Is the bolt spacing different? Is it insufficient in length? Is the profile dissimilar?

[VVC-Geeza]

The 5x112 bolt pattern is accurate. The standard centre bore is 66.6 mm; I believe the issue is with the nut, which does not fit through the new alloy wheel.
Thank you for your response.

Mercedes predominantly employs either M12 x 1.5 (often on older automobiles) or M14 x 1.5 (on more recent models). It appears you are attempting to accommodate 14mm bolts in wheels intended for 12mm bolts. Prepare to utilise a drill.;

[VVC-Geeza]

I believe that is precisely what is occurring.
The question now is how and whether I can accommodate them.

[SD1too]

I am acquainted with an individual who enlarged the holes for a larger thread size; he experienced no complications, and it was frequently utilised off-road. Am I inclined to undertake it? Negative. I would sell them and purchase the appropriate wheels, as they were evidently not intended for your vehicle. It is not solely the hole size that is affected; the radius surrounding the bolt head is also larger, which presents a significant challenge, if not an impossibility, to rectify. Dispose of them.

Merely validated my initial assumption. It is unfortunate, as this appears excellent, and I have observed W211 models utilising them; it seems the wheel hub differs among the 220, 280, 320, etc.

Thank you for your time; nevertheless, I believe the wheels are available for purchase if anyone is interested.

Rear tires: 255 or 265/35/18. Front tires were recently balanced before to fitting; rear tires require replacement due to deterioration and sidewall cracking.
