5x114 ?

[bembo449]

Will these fit the 215 ok ??

 

[onefortheroad]

Benz are 5x112 are they not .

 

[bembo449]

Yes which means 5x114 is very close pal , im just trying to have as many options when i upgrade the rims on the 215

 

[onefortheroad]

ive seen wobble bolts used to make em fit ... pal

 

[LostKiwi]

I'd not fit anything that's not 5x112 personally. This is one case where close enough isn't good enough.

 

[AMGeed]

^ As above. Get the correct fitment and ET, and save messing with spigot rings, wobble bolts and spacers.

I believe there's a fetching set of red alloys for sale from someone on the forum. Might be just a rumour....

 

[SmartAmg]

Got to be 5x112 don't even bother with wobbly nuts, spigot rings are fine.

You could use "wobbly" bolts to fit them but you will then need to check the centre bore and use spigot rings if necessary

Having had a wheel come off while driving (thankfully at only about 40mph, and it was the rear NS not front OS!!) thanks to an idiot apprentice mechanic forgetting to properly tighten the wheel bolts, I would never think of fitting any wheel that did not exactly match the hub.

You need to ask SmartAMG....

But that is the idiot Mechanics fault not the wheels

 

[Chrishazle]

I agree, but if the bolt circle does not exactly match the hub then the bolts will not be exactly aligned, possibly leading to bolt failure due to unusual shear loading. Personally it's not something I would do.
