Merc wheel fitting help

Post by **poshbuggers** » 02 Jan 2007, 00:40

I'm interested in fitting a set of Mercedes alloys to my Syncro.

I have been told that entails longer studs and 10mm spacers on the front but need clarification before I purchase the parts.

Could anyone advise on exactly what is needed.

Would be nice to convert the hubs so they all match if possible too.

you will need longer studs for the rear.and longer bolts or a stud conversion kit for the front.and spacers.....

Any idea on the lengths?

As I am adding a spacer at the front I assume its:

F: Standard +10mm (spacer) + 10mm (alloy)
R: Standard + 10mm (alloy)

Or am I guessing all wrong

Syncro's have studs all round so no need for a "stud conversion kit on the front"

As for spacers... depends on what ET you get.. and how wide the rim is.. 6" ET37 steels in 15" go straight on.. as do ET31 (which is the ideal et in steel merc rims)
Alloys could be anything.. what are you going to use? have you got them already and if so whats the markings on them?
