Merc Alloy Wheel Musings.........

Post by **Comic Karma** » 17 Jun 2008, 11:59

Guys,

I'm thinking of buying some Merc S Class alloys and need your advice.

They are 16'' with an ET of 34. PCD is 112, the centre has been modified and the stud holes are the required 14mm.

I understand that i shall need extended studs on the back and 10mm spacers on the front. Is that right or am i missing something? Can anyone recommend a supplier from the forum?

Over to you!............

5mm spacers up front should do it.
Longer front bolts,rear studs and spacers are all available from www.brickwerks.co.uk

Oh and the centre shouldn't have needed to be modified cos it's 66mm anyway.

Hi Guys,

for future reference, can you stick van tyres on these wheels?

Cheers

I'm assuming they're 7" X 16" which means the tyres required will be 215/55/16 to keep the gearing and the speedo the same.
These are readily available in 97 load rating to keep everyone happy.

Budget versions in 215/55/16(97W)XL are available from www.mytyres.co.uk for £39 inc delivery.

Others would disagree Ringo.

Glad to be of help anyway.
