Wheel swap.

[stuckinthepast]

Hi there, could anyone help me out with some info on a wheel and tyre swap. The wheels I have to go on are merc steels 6j x 16 ET 54 H2. The centres are 66mm. Will they fit and what length studs will I need, spacer thickness and I was thinking g of all terrain tires. I was told they came off a T25 and were from a guy who breaks them. Kind regards Andrew South Wales. Anybody in this area of the country who has bits and knowledge would be nice too.

ET is a bit high, 20mm spacers I would say plus associated studs/bolts.

As for length you'll need to measure the originals (or find out) and add whatever thickness of spacers you decide to go with.

Thank you for your reply and help. This gets me off the mark.

The figures 6j x 16 ET 54 H2, refer to a n MB wheel P/N 6394011602, which is stamped on the wheel.

If this is the wheel, it originates from a second generation Vito, fits the T25 without any problem and enables brake upgrades without the need for spacers.

I use these on my Syncro.

As long as no rear brake upgrade is carried out, the original studs should be fine.

I thought original wheels had an et between 30-37 approx so won't these sit too far in?

You obviously know what you're talking about so not disagreeing with you.

The original Syncro 16" rims are 5.5 x 16 ET 34 with VW P/N 251601027A, so you are correct.

Several 16" steel rims have been offered for the second generation Vito, bearing different offsets.

The 6394013302 is 6.5 x 16 ET 60, and as far as I remember, there was another dimension.

I'm confused now, you say syncro wheels have an offset of 34 yet also say wheels with an offset of 54 will fit?

I'm not sure this fella has a syncro anyway, just don't want to advise anyone incorrectly.
