Hi,
Went to pop the spare wheel on the car and the bolts don’t seem to want to reach the thread.
The car has non standard 19” wheels.
With correct Merc bolts inc security ones.
Spare must have a “deeper/thicker” hub.
Bolts only protrude about 10mm
How far should they protrude?
Going to have to buy x5 spares for the spare.....( not in the boot with spare as they are on the A-class)
Only found out as the brand new tyre fitted yesterday was on the rim, took wheel back and it’s a duff bead on the tyre leaking, manufacture fault.
(And in off to work back Saturday....they need to order new one in)
So haven’t got the wheel to check ‘protrusion’ of the current set up.
Call me Carlos
