Merc rims 15” et 31

Post by waltraud »

Anyone running these, if so any idea if 215/75/15 go on ok without spacers? Running an AGG engine. Cheers

I'm running merc 15" et31 steels with 205/70/15 - simply because I had the chance of four nearly new van tyres for very little money.
Thing you have to remember is that the as far as I'm aware all the ET31 15" are only 6" wide and the max advised tyre width is 205, although I'm sure you would get a 215 to seat without any real problems.
Clearance wise I've got no issues, even with a 215 I suspect you would be fine although a 3-5mm shim could be used.
