Hi All, am I going to have a problem with these fitting straight on?
Seller says that the PCD is the usual Merc 112mm with a 72mm spigot diameter.
I'm guessing I'll need the longer bolts etc.Cheers, DeeGee

your guessing right and some 10mm spacers I thinks
there's a nice center cap for those too...... see the wiki

Ask g60steve from the Brickyard.
He loves his Carat rims.

Longer rear studs and front bolts/studs required.
They'll fit on without spacers but ideally you will need 5mm ones to bring the ET back to 30 but you'll need 10mm spacers in order to fit the centre caps...and seeing as they've only got the 2 be prepared for a long wait for some more.They're no longer available from Merc.You'll be better off getting some ally ones made up and selling the 2 original ones on.
Oh and those tyres aren't suitable for a T25.The load rating needs to be 92 and above.
Hope this helps.

Great feedback cheers, looks like there's alot more going on besides the spacers and the seller seemed more confident about the centre caps huh?.
Never would have thought about the load rating on the tyres until later on, Cheers All
