|
I have been able to source a set of Mercedes C230 Wheels 16" 5x112 with a ET37
Will these work on my 1988 Westy?
Thanks in advance! |

Take a look in this thread.
Very likely the tire you're interested in is in there.
In general, with Mercedes wheels you need to bore out the 6 lug holes from 12 to 14mm, depending on the year.
With an et37 you'll probably want a spacer of 5 to 7mm, longer lug nuts and bolts, with the correct mercedes ball seats.

Very few wheels fit perfectly with NO mods. The ones that do, are expensive.
Your wheels sound like a good place to start. They will need some mods but nothing crazy. |
