Hi Gang...

I've been preparing to mount a nice set of these on my bus for some time...have sourced the tires, correct wheel nuts and longer studs...BUT...where does the ET figure come from...I've looked everywhere on my rims and can only find the following information on the inside fin edge...

6 1/2JX14H2 1084001002

1272 is stamped on the flange contact area

AS162 is on the inside of another fin..

Stock rim has a 4 3/4" offset measured from the inside edge of the mounting point to the inside edge of the rim

The rims off the Mercedes have a 5" offset measured the same way, but since only 1/4" of this is inside will I really have an issue with clearance...

What a great resource this thread has been...sorry to ask this in case I've missed an earlier reply, I can't find one if I did..

Thanks, Den.
