W218 CLS wheel, daft question?

[Igloo]

Doing some research they are 66.5mm centre bores and the recommended is 66.6mm.

This is where the issues lie I think,

A) will it matter?
B) Are they actually that close to tolerance on the hubs?

This wheel package maintains the standard stagger for the rear of the car

Coupled with https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres/vredestein/wintrac-xtreme-s/245-40-r18-97y-75553 x 4 seems like a good little package to me!

The wheels are or should be hub centric and a tight fit on the hubs.

That's 4 thousandths of an inch difference ......

Not much is it, but some correct wheels can be very tight and hard to take off.

Think i'm going to go for the staggered set I found last night

After much messing around the DRC's are going back, They sent the rears in diamond cut gloss black the fronts in matte black.

Being swapped for a set of these tomorrow FOC

They are lovely, I tried them against my car, looked great

There's a vote of confidence then!

I wasn't sure, Though that's reassured me.

Will post pictures

I think that you hate cleaning wheels

You may well be correct

Here we go again....

They don't fit over the massive calipers on the front...! Glad i test fitted before having the tyres put on... :-( :roll:

Only way to sort that is with Spacers

Only way to sort that is with Spacers

They're sending out some 5mm spacers FOC.

These "should" fit with no issues. I don't want any more than 5mm on there.

Will find out soon I guess

Wanted to put spacers on the standard alloys, Push them out a bit. Cost effective method of doing so
