hi all

and a happy new year to one and all.

I maybe able to get a set of S Class Alloys ( 225/60/16 ET46 ) in great condition with good tyres at a very good price. This would mean that I can put my current snow tyres/wheels away for the summer and use these instead.

I have read all the measurement charts and it would appear that a max of ET41 applies for the W210 but in the real world is this a definitive maximum or can E46 be used ?. Has any one any experiences of using this configuration

Some Questions:

1. What would be required in terms of change of wheel bolts sizes

2. would the ET46 rims protrude out more or be inclined more into the
wheel arch.


Sorry I always seem to be asking about wheels and their compatibility here but thanks for bearing with me :Oops::Oops::Oops::Oops:

regards

brendan

ET 46 means the wheels sits in further and may foul on suspension components. You could use a 5mm spacer if this happens. The tyres will be far too big. You need 215/55. The 225/60s will increase the diameter by 33.5mm.
