Mercedes wheels fit?

[Boomers]

I found a set of nice 16" inch 5 spoke mercedes wheels, would be perfect for my winter setup. Anyone know if they fit? From the research I did, seems they have the same bolt pattern but the rest I don't know.

Yea bolt pattern is the same

Normally the offset is pretty good to depends what brakes you have will you clear them with 16's?

I'm assuming yes, the spare tire is a 16 and I know some people in here are running 16's in winter as well. I would prefer 17's for a bit stiffer sidewall but at almost twice the price...no thanks.

Hmm merc wheels over here can be got for 300 pounds or less (Northern Ireland)

Must be different with you

You'll have to run hubrings... Mercedes center bore is 66.6 and VW is 57.1.

Also most Mercedes wheels but not all will need extended ball seat 43mm bolts for proper fitment.

May need longer bolts, may not, depends on the merc wheel

Bump from the dead so anyone that comes across this won't end up with the wrong lugs. There is a difference between Mercedes and VW ball seats, one is actually a bigger radius of a ball. The link you provided is to ES#224 which is VW. ES#226 is for Mercedes ball seats.
