I have learnt just recently from the German VW Bus Forum, that most MBs uses M12 (12 mm) studs, while the S-class (W126) uses M14 studs. Now, the M14 size is just the same size as our beloved VWs. So, what you need to do, is get the wheels modified to take the M14 bolts instead of the M12. PerL 88 Syncro |
