W163 rims - centre hole size

Hi all

I am visiting from the G-wagen forum.

I am looking into making adapters to fit ML rims to my W460 G-wagen, as rims for this are as scarce as hens teeth.

The G rims are located by a spigot about 5mm high and dia 84.1mm. Are the ML rims also located this way, and if so, what size is the ML hole?

The ML bolts are on a 5x112mm spacing. How long would the studs need to be - can anybody advise?

Thanks a lot

Adrian

RE: W163 rims - centre hole size

I hope this helps.  I took this picture for another reason, but it may help.  It is the inside of the wheels that came with the '01 ML430 Sport.  They are 17 inch - 7 spoke (8.5 X 17).  I think you can get a rough idea of the center hole diameter by scaling from the ruler in the picture.

W163 Center bore is 66.5 so 84mm to 66.5 adapter, studs would depend which ML wheel you are going to use as they varying offsets.
