Thinking about a set of 16" penta alloys for a 380SLC.
However saw these 17" AMG replicas and wondered if they would fit?
17" tyres probably also have more choice.

They are 8x17 and 9.5x17.

First question would be: Do they fit the hub (stud pattern)?

Then, what size are the existing wheels? Diameter, width, offset, tyre size(s)?

That much increase in width may well give you problems with wheel arch and/or suspension clearance.

Also what size tyres were you thinking of?

Potentially a 245 would fit the wheels, but to maintain the rolling circumference you would need a 40 or 45 profile. Maybe a 225 would be okay, with a profile of 45.

Yeh the rubbing was my concern. Had thought 225 on the front and 245 rear.
