They're Momo Arrows. As they are on a 190 they are 5x112, and the offset should be OK.

But, you'd need to drill the holes out to suit the M14 studs/bolts and may need a 5mm spacer on the front.

Depending on the thickness of the wheel at the stud hole you may also need longer studs/bolts.

Cheers! If they come in at the right price I'll go for it and have a crack at drilling holes...

How about the centre holes?
Would they need enlarging?

Should have spigot rings, but without seeing them you can't tell

Mercs are 66mm centre bore so the centre bore won't be an issue.

However the offset maybe.
If it's lower than ET23 then they're not suitable.
If it's higher than ET35 and they're wider than 7" spacers maybe required.

Longer rear studs and front bolts will required no matter what.

As for if they're load rated for a van that can weigh 2.5 tons that's an entirely different question....
There's no 'r' in bought!

Is there anyway of finding out the load rating; is it on the stamp with the ET?

They should have a part number on them or even a KBA number - googling that may get you to a Gutachten or Teilegutachten.
It will be in German but will give you all the details you need. Look for Zul. Radlast:
