New alloys fitted and now RHD square lights
Finally got my £150 Ebay bargain Merc alloys fitted at the Brickwerks on Tuesday.
Mercedes 16" E Class W211 Alloys
PCD 112
Width 7.5J
Offset 42
Front spacers 10mm
Rear spacers 20mm
Tyres (conveniently came with the wheels and 6mm of tread) 225/55/16
Sets the van off nicely I think

Re: New alloys fitted
Tres Bon.
I do like a nice 5 spoke alloy sir. Not managed to find any bargains yet though. LOL.
BTW. How long did the fitting job take ?

Re: New alloys fitted

Re: New alloys fitted
You need spacers at the front as the wheel rubs otherwise! Backs no need!

Re: New alloys fitted
I'm sure the backs need spacers to make them look right in relation to the fronts. Though the fronts still rub slightly on the suspension when on full lock. A bit of grinding needed next time I'm at the Brickwerks
Alloys were fitted by an expert, so if he fits spacers they need spacers.

Re: New alloys fitted
looks like they have made the van wider does not fit in the parking space anymore

That's where it was hastily dumped for a few photo's
Re: New alloys fitted
Looks great!
How much clearance is there from the rear tire to the trailing arm? I might be getting a new van this week and hav some steel audi wheels with the same specs as these and 225/60-16 tires and need to know if I'll be able to fit chains on there.

I can get my hand inbetween easily. Probably around 50mm clearance

Old saying:
Ex = has been
Spert = drip under pressure
Expert = has-been drip under pressure
Not always true, but sometimes is.

Sounds good! Is that both inwards and forwards?
