Merc ML 17" alloys help

Post by Gal »

Will the centre hole have to be bored out to fit? It has a solid cap over it ie part of the alloy

Thanks Gary

Hi Gary,

I have just installed a set of 17" x 8.5" AMG Aero II Monoblocks on my 91 Transporter. These were from a Mercedes so I guess will have similar issues. On mine the centre hole did not have to be bored out, however on the fronts the solid caps sit out by 1-2 mm. Hope this helps some.

Please forgive the dirty state of the wheels, but you can see the centre cap sitting slightly proud below:
