Re: Mercedes Alloys

The stud diameter is correct, and IIRC so is the offset, so I don't see why they wouldn't fit. Those rims look hot with low-profile tyres.

Re: Mercedes Alloys

PCD is correct however offset could be an issue.

Octy 2 offset is usually around ET45+ on alloy wheels. Have tried Superb alloys on one and they stick out a mile (ET35).

Re: Mercedes Alloys

Also, check the centre bore, VAG cars run a 57.1mm centre bore if I remember correctly, and Merc is different, so you'd need a spigot ring, as you never mount a wheel with the weight on the bolts!
