Mercedes S-Class wheel fitment — 222, 221
Before you buy wheels, the Mercedes S-Class wheel fitment facts: The Mercedes S-Class 222, 221 (2013–2017) uses a 5x112 bolt pattern, 66.6 mm centre bore, M14x1.5 bolts torqued to ~120 Nm. It accepts ~8J–9.5J wheels at ET15–ET38 front; staggered setups run 9.5J–11J rear (ET26–ET48).
Mercedes S-Class wheel fitment
Mercedes S-Class wheel fitment comes down to two things: the factory hub spec, and how far the aftermarket width and offset can move from it. Both are here for the Mercedes S-Class 222, 221 (2013–2017).
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 66.6 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 120 Nm |
| Seat type | radius |
| Factory setup | staggered |
| TPMS | direct |
| Run-flat | Yes |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 8J–9.5J | ET15–ET38 |
| Rear (staggered) | 9.5J–11J | ET26–ET48 |
Go wider and the offset has to rise with it, about 8 to 10 ET per extra 1J, or the wheel pokes past the arch. The fit-check settles the exact offset and any spacer.
