Roger, I have a similar set of Mercedes wheels from my brother, 6.5J x 15H2, ET48. They look great and I would love to use them, but I havn't found a place that will make the spacers. I've sent out a couple of emails asking for them, but no reply. I tried the 'lugnutking@msn.com' and I tried another place, but I don't recall their name.

Hello all, I have an opportunity to buy a set of Mercedes rims for my 87 Westy. I understand that my stock wheel is offset ET35. These are ET48. If I understand correctly this means these rims sit 13 mm inboard more than stock. Is that an excessive amount? Would I need spacers to move them outboard? Thanks in advance, -Roger Donahe |
