Andrew,


I can't get that URL to work. I will bet that this fellow saw my 16" Syncro
with the ML320 wheels on it. It would require a 32 mm spacer to clear the
front suspension. The stock tires on the ML320 are 255/65/16. It fit my 16"
fine but I highly doubt that an unmodified 14" Syncro can swallow that much
rubber.


Although $500 seems like a good deal, I did better. I paid $275 for a set of
four with tires from eBay.
