i have just got hold of a set of mercedes slk 7x15 alloys 5x112 et37 with 205/60/15 tyres .the rears fit perfectly but the fronts just catch.

so what i want to know is where is the best place to get spacers and longer bolts/studs ??

cheers......andy :D

Did you not see the forum called "Technical Questions and Answers", you'd be better of posting in there to get a sensible response

Simon at brickwerks will be able to help you out with any longer bolts/studs/spacers:

I'm guessing you have the same wheels as I fitted on my van:

I used 10mm spacers all round to keep things even. I fitted longer studs on the rear and bought a stud conversion from the front. The bolt holes on the wheels also need drilling out from 12mm to 14mm.

Hope this helps
