"What wheels fit?" The ultimate wheel post.

[Zeitgeist 13]

If you're in the Bay Area, it might make sense to check on these rims. A W123 MB has an offset of ET30 stock, so if these rims fit, they might be a nearly direct swap onto a Vanagon.

Hey all, I have a 86 Syncro Doka. I have some snow wheels mounted with tires that I'm wondering if they will fit?

Wheel size is 17' 5x100 lug, not sure of offset

Meaty snow tires are 235/65/17.

Will I be able to wrangle these onto my rig? I don't want to drag them down there is there isnt a chance they fit, ha.

[elizer]

Bolt pattern is 5x112. Unless there is something I don't know. There are adapters but then that can cause other fitment issues and just not worth it for wheels.

Will these work on 2wd westy?

What modifications are needed?

Thanks

So I've been looking at something like this for a while:

MIM wheel, 5x112, 7x16, et 35, (centerbore unknown)

Info, please: a) load capacity? ...b) fitment/spacers? ...c) hardware/center caps? ...d) ballpark cost for all these extra bits?
This is first time I've ever looked into wheels seriously, so sorry if I seem clueless/needy... TIA!

I run those Audi rims on our EV for winter tires. That van is a chunky monkey, so I wouldn't worry about their load capacity. They look great on vans

Cool...thanks Chris.

Casey...Since you have them "in hand", any insights re: hardware & centerbore for Vanagon?

If boring is needed, I assume I just get them to my local machine shop along with what, ~$50, $100 bill...???

Just trying to get a feel for all the costs up front...Thanks guys!

I'll say it's an audi 16" with a 45 et

But that's just me guessing at it.

Do you know from what year/model of mercedes ?

[visibleink]

[visibleink]

Would these be okay for a 2wd westy?

off of a 1992 300CE. 16 inches x 7.5. 65jx15h2

Would they be up to the weight?

Hopefully you realize those are 15" wheels, 6.5" wide, like is says on them.

Those look better on vans than they do on MBs. From what I recall the factory 124 rims used a lot of offset, so you'll probably need spacers plus the lug bolts/nuts/studs
