Mercedes W124 steel wheels 6.5J x 15 ET49

Post by Winchweight »

Mercedes Part number 124 400 1202

I have bought a set of these for our van and whilst they fit I was surprised just how close the clearances are.

Can anyone tell me if I need anything such as a spacer before use?

ET49 is waayyy too high....you need to be somewhere near ET30-ET35 with 6.5" wide wheels.....6" wide T25 Carat alloys are ET30.
So that means 15mm spacers,longer rear studs and longer front bolts.
You may be able to get away with 10mm spacers but you'll still need the longer rear studs etc.

There's better Merc steels out there with more T25 friendly offsets that fit without spacers etc...
There's no 'r' in bought!

So if I go for spacers, what length / size studs do I need?
