If so what has to be done to make them work safely?Does one need wheel spacers or other modifications? Thanks for the help. >> AFAIK the '70's 14" MB alloys will bolt right up, no mods, no spacers. the hub hole is larger than on the audi alloys, so you dont have to mess w/ that. too bad these werent made in 15"... chris |
