Hi guys, I made a remark sometime ago that the previous owner of my Syncro said the 15"wheels were Merc wheels. Well. I've confirmed it. A very old established VW business in Australia , "Muller & Muller VW" have confirmed that they are indeed Merc wheels. 15" Steel. Center needs no mods to clear hubs , but stud holes need drilling from the original 12mm to 14mm? to take the VW wheel nuts. They told me they have a pile of them "out the back" so I just might get a second set for my new set of mud tires. A$50 each.
I'll measure up the width of the wheels tomorrow. I currently have 215/75 15" Michelin Road tyres with no clearance problems at all.....wheel to guards that is!! Cheers Mark |
