Hello,
I just put on a set of 17" wheels from a 2003 SL500 onto my 2004 SLK230 that came with 16" wheels..
The wheels are 8.5" wide and have an offset of 35. The wheels fit nicely but the problem is that my lug bolts seem to be too long at the rear wheels. Is that possible? They are the OEM 12x1.50, 40mm shank, ball seat type.
Just to try it... I installed the lugs from the spare tire and now the wheel spins freely without the grinding sound. Are the spare lugs too short (21mm) to use?
Am I missing something pretty obvious?
Thanks in advance.
