Subject:      Fitting Mercedes wheels
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

I finally managed to find a set of Mercedes alloy wheels off of a 2005 C240.
These are the 7-spoke 16x7 wheels with ET31.
The Mercedes part number is 2034012802.
I know I need to drill out the lug holes from 12mm to 14mm.
What else will I need? Will I need new studs or spacers?
I'm thinking I'll fit 205/65-16 XL tires to the new wheels.
My van currently has the 14" factory alloys.
