Merc sprinter rims have a pcd of 5x130 according to this and a centre bore of 84.1 http://www.wheel-fitment.com/car/Mercedes/Sprinter (2000 - 2006)/ This is what starts happening everytime i look into 15 inch steel wheels to fit my bus i keep getting conflicting information I dont have the money to be buying sets of wheel to find they dont fit or having tyres put on them only to find out they scrub
Weve been running alloys for the past year (3000 miles approx.) with no issues and from looking at them, they haven't got spigot rings and they locate okay - MWS I guess wouldn't sell them without rings if they didn't need them. Im not gonna worry!!
I didnt say they were alloys i was trying to show that the center bore is supposed so be the correct size and not too large Mark do your mws wheels have a larger centre bore than the stock vw wheels?
dunno tbh - they fit the wheelstuds, look great and have no issues whatsoever, the handling has improved though, that I will say!!
bay windows use lug centric wheels so in theory if you use aftermarket wheels with M14 stud holes they should find the center when torqued up correctly theres a bit of info here http://www.ratwell.com/technical/Tires.html scroll down to larger wheels
VW Transporter after 90 5x112 35 to 38 57.1 35 to 38 is the offset for the t4 wheel, 57.1 is the bore. Do you know t2? It wasn't on that spec sheet I found........off to search.
Wheres it say vw on them ? look at these and compare http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-..._tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&hash=item41718cc413
Cheers dickie that sorts the problem of the centre hole diameter and it can indeed be larger than stock Damm my head dont half hurt now
Cheers dickie The only rims listed in that with the same offset as the bay and wedge is a merc s class w126 1979 -1991 and Mercedes sl w107 1971-1989
So I have now got the info I need. The t4 wheels will be fine with regards to offset, they'll just need boring out. My brother in law is an engineer for Honda and has said he will do it for me at work. Para, I'll let you know how I get on if this is something your wanting to do.
i would also be intrested in how it goes like i say this is something ive been looking into but not at the top of list of things to do, so will be a while till i get round to it any pictures of the machining of the wheels would also be nice cheers
So they will stick out further in the arches than stock wheels I hope theres enough clearance especially with 205 width tyres
