Vr6pates 2 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Have just looked at the specs of the merc they came off and the brakes on the front of the car are 284mm so I should think they are gunna fit.just don't know what tyres and adaptors width to use Link to post Share on other sites
Surreyvr6 199 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 The bbs that are on mine are et43 so yours should be fine. I've got 205 's on my 6.5j so they would fit 7j nice too, depends if your after some stretch though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Surreyvr6 199 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hard to say, you can never tell until you try them on, shame you can't try before you buy with adapters lol. I'm no expert with stretching but I would have thought that 175's would be quite a bit of stretch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Vr6pates 2 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Just got to find some adaptors there bludi expensive for wat they are Link to post Share on other sites
andymk312v 15 Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Have to remember with stretch on 15's you will have to run silly low. In my opinion if done wrong looks crap. Wide wheels need stretch to fit, stretch for the sake of it is pointless, maybe I just like to drive my car too much.I ran et23 on 16 x 6.5 just caught the standard arch trims with 195/45.You could probably run 20mm and 25mm adapters with no problems depending how low and/or flush you want the wheels to sit.
