Re: question about rims

the bolt pattern should be the same (5x114.3), but...
1. What's the offset? they may stick out and look goofy
2. How wide are they? if they're narrower than stock you'd be downgrading your car...which is stupid.

Re: question about rims

the stock tires for the 95 SL were 225's, so those are significantly narrower...which is a downgrade.

Those tires are WAY too narrow and WAY too short.

Stock 245/45/17 tires are 9.64" wide and 25.7" tall.

205/40/17 tires are 8.07" wide and 23.45" tall.
