i fitted 7.5 x 16 et42 merc wheels to my bus recently (although they are steelies rather than alloys)
used 16mm spacers front to clear upper wishbone and the same on the rear so they were even - this might be different with alloys due to material thickness...
stud conversion on the front, long studs on th rear.

The guy I got them from told me i'd need 10mm spacers which falls in with your comments regarding alloys being thicker than steels.

Anyway i've ordered up 10mm spacers, longer rear studs, conversion front studs and wheelnuts from Mr Baxter

..... then I saw the locking wheel nuts, westfalia info stickers, oil filter and air filter and ordered those

..... then I saw the clear indicators and ordered those

..... and then I saw the smoked indicators and couldnt make up my mind

..... so I ordered those as well
