Don't think the wheels will fit
Don't think the wheels will fit

The good news was the wheels cleared the massive callipers which was my initial worry.
The bad news was the center of the hubs on the Merc were longer than a native Africans nipples! They literally poked out the front of the wheels and even then the wheels still didn't sit flush with the rest of the hub.
Is it a lost cause? I'm guessing I'd need about a 50mm spacer to prevent the hub from poking out the wheels. But then I'd need massive wobble bolts too....and the whole idea begins sounding dodgy.
Unless there's such thing as a 50mm hubcentric spacer that converts 114.3 nut, to 112 bolt?
I've been toying with the idea of fitting my Rays alloys to the Merc and tonight I decided to give it a try.

If not could you get some made?
Can you lay one pcd on top of another without overlapping any studs? If so should simple to get some made

Really? I find them a bit plain tbh. If I were to keep them I think I'd have to get them re-coated a kinda smoked silver colour at the very least to give them a bit of individuality as every ****** non-AMG merc has AMG wheels :cursing:

AMG rims work well at being sporty and aggressive - I get what you're saying though, a set of Brabus wheels would obviously go quite nicely
