Did you get a fitting kit with the wheels?

Mercedes wheels are hub centric (centre in the hub not with the bolts)

Most aftermarket wheels are generic so you should have a kit with the rings and possibly new wheel bolts as well as the holes might be shorter (or longer) so the original bolts could be too short or too long (fouling rear handbrake shoes...)
Yep got a fitting kit with the wheels, the centre bore of the wheels are 72.6 but I've got spigot rings taking the centre bore down to 66.6, the new bolts are fine, I've checked them with the bolts that are on now, so should be no problems, hopefully. :)

Guys ... we're talking about four wheels on a car!
Not some cathedral with stained glass, beautiful masonry, historic heritage and a preservation order.
I’d liken it more to the Pompidou Center :rolleyes:
