Can anyone tell me what the centre bore should be in order for alloys to fit a T25?

Cheers

Centre bore 57.1mm so 2 wheels will need the centre bore machining out to approx 66mm to clear the front grease cap.

found using the search facility

hope this helps

could maybe fit the grease cap after the alloy if its close. maybe save a couple of mm?

Merc 15" AMG wheels - will the centre bore be adequate - can't quite tell from the Wiki?

Merc centres are usually OK as they are machined big from the factory

All the sizes look good, offset is spot-on etc. Probably have to drill the stud holes out slightly, Merc uses smaller diameter (but only a small amount)

You will need longer rear stud kit, and either a front stud conversion kit (best way to do it) or longer front bolts.

All parts available from Baxter :)

Wheels bought:

Guy described them as 'good condition' - yeh right!. Spent all morning refurbing them :roll:

Am I right in thinking that the stud/bolt holes are 12mm on Merc wheels?

Yes they are, they need drilling out to 14mm :D
