hi can anyone give me a list of wheels that will fit directly on my 1985 t25 without the need for spacers and longer studs etc.

mercedes tolliman 16's

hi, will these wheels fit straight on 7.5 x 16 PCD 5x112 ET42 with tyre size 225/55 16

No....99% of aftermarket non T25 wheels don't fit straight on!

Try a search on here,look in the Wiki up there ^^^^ ....in fact do as much research yourself before even thinking of buying aftermarket wheels....

Believe me it will save you wasted time and money by doing so.

What centre bore, what bolt hole diameter?

No.
Tyres too small and the load rating will be wrong at a guess
Use the search luke

225/55/16 tyres are exactly the same rolling radius as a standard 185R14C set up Kev and they are available in 95 and 99 load ratings so could well be ok for a T3?

It's the wheels that's the issue....they won't fit straight on.

hi thanks for replies.
ive found some wheels and contacted the seller the have come of a mercedes e class
the info i have got is 7j x 16 h2 of the back of the wheel does this mean anything to anyone with tyre size 205/60 16 and if they will be a direct fit on a 1985 t25

table wheels

That table is a guide only...not fact.

As a guide, it's a bit iffy too.

It depends a LOT on the exact rim and the diameter, which that table doesn't account for.

According to that table, my Merc steels - 16X7 ET31 are marginal, and contact is liekly - THey are actually a perfect fit, the offest is 1mm off ideal for scrub radius etc.

The mercedes part number for these steels is 203 400 1602

Your wheel is in the yellow margins but do you have an example of a red fields wheels that fit perfectly.
I think that this one is very helpful table

Yes, 16x7's need to be ET30 to ET35 - the yellow zone. 17x7's will fit with ET30 to ET42 - 36 to 42 is in the red zone.

As I said earlier - it doesn't take the additional diameter into account, which alters where the most likely contact point is to be.

Even an 18x8 ET32 will fit, which is WAY into the red zone.

I think that table is made purely for one diameter.
