Wheel suitability question

Post by Alfredo »

I have been offered a set of Mercedes 15" Monoblock wheels like these. Will they be suitable with bore Adapters or hub rings?

I think with et37's youll need longer studs and spacers.
My ET33 tolimans only just clear the uprights.

Its not just the ET, also the combination of diameter, width that affecrs clearance and then the thickness of the wheel centre (or knave, if you will) and if thatvworks with the oem stud length.
Some fit, some don't.
Original alloys required a slightly longer stud of around 45mm iirc so most use 50mm and the closed end wheel nuts still fit without popping their caps off.
