2015-1016 wheels on a 2005

[ZmanM3]

Has anyone tried putting 2015 - 2016 wheels on their 2005?

You have them and can put them on but you wondering if someone else has done it... Why not just put them on?

no tires maybe....

Offsets are slightly different, but there have been some threads on here the last few months where people have put them on. The S550 brakes have deeper rotor hats, so the wheels don't necessarily have the same amount of spoke clearance for the calipers on a similar size brake package when used on an S197.

these plenty of people that run the 20 inch premiums on their s197s

Take a look at the "lowered on 20s" or whatever it is thread. There's a guy who's posted pics of his. Just remember to retain your lugs.

only image I have got I'm afraid but the yellow 197 has got S550 wheels on - IIRC the rears do stick out a fraction but not so's to cause an issue

 

[ZmanM3]

Hmm they look good.

better pic of the S550 wheels...

They look good, if they were black they would look great!

I have 2015 wheels on my 2010.

Those suit the car nicely. Is that the 18"? You bolted them on directly or used spacers?

Those are 18". No spacers.

Such a nice setup. May have to start looking for a used set...

I have 15 wheels on my s197 and they bolt up just fine
