I can verify the Mercedes info. The non turbo 123's are SLOW. The first time I drove a non turbo 240 automatic I kept pulling the e-brake release and trying to open the door and paddle with my left foot to help the poor thing out.
I think they were rated at something like 58 HP or so. Great car for parents to buy teenagers. The only car you can drive continuosly at full throttle and not break the speed limit. Well... maybe in school zones... if they're down hill.

I would think that you could have the studs pressed out and the hubs re-drilled for the new pattern pretty easily by a competent machine shop. Or with care and a good drill press. Just have to make sure the centering rings are the same diameter or make an adapter.
