Most Merc alloys have a 12mm bolt hole i had to get my SLK wheel bolt holes taken out to 14mm to fit me van cost me £25 for a local engineer to do it for me Stef

I had to have my wheels modified to fit the van.

I used a sharp drill bit and a powerfull drill and took it very slow, ensuring that the drill went through at 90Ã‚Â°.

All worked fine. then again if you can get them machined for around £25 your probably better off doing that.
