17" Mercedes C Class 5 Spokes on a Bay

[simonh]

Hi All

These are the wheels that (slightly) resemble Empi 5s. Anyone done this? I do know the wheels fit over the later stud fitment, and have a bore that clears the centre grease caps.

However, I don't know if they foul on the front suspension (as the same size audi ones nearly do on the front of my T25) or if they're impossible to get on and off the rear, or foul anywhere else! They are quite big!

Sizes: 245/40/17 7.5J front, 255/40/17 8.5J rear.

I'd love to see a pic of this - if it's possible to do!


Cheers


Simon

Do a search for slammedkustoms panel van build thread pretty sure he used them.

Forget tyre sizes, they can be adjusted to suit.

I'd source another set of fronts so you have a set of 17x7.5

I always wanted to fit a set of these wheels to my old westy, because as you say, they have more than a passing resemblance to Empi5's

That's really helpful; I'll follow these up when I get home!
