I thought 15'' can't fit on w463. I still need 3 or 4 rims for my 270cdi but I prefer atik 16''.

Re: 18" alloys needed anyone? w463

The 7x15 alloys came as an option on early 463s (1991 - 1994?). They definitely fit on those models, but not sure about a 270cdi, as the front brakes on 463s were changed to vented discs sometime in 1994/95 (starting with the G320), the 16-inch minimum might have been introduced then. The G55k has even more stringent minimum-size criteria.

Attached is a photo of the 7x15 alloy fitted on a 1991 300GE, with a 6x16 off it. The early 463s had solid disc brakes up front.

15"x7" seems to have been the standard fit on most UK 463 models, the 16" alloys were the option, both are listed in my handbook

Wonder if the wheel arch extensions were an option with one of those, as the 6x16 seem to sit well inside the extensions...

Can't answer that, but most UK vehicles were high spec, alloys, sun roof, wheel arches, electric windows etc. Sliding rear windows, bull bars side-steps and aircon also quite common but as cost options

haven't posted here in quite some time..
i always thought wheel arches was only optional on W460, and standard on all W463
i've never seen any 463 without wheel arches
