Adapter question?

[Lorenz]

Little OT, but Dom, seeing as you can make them, can you make other adapters/spacers?

X2, any 4x100 - 4x108 by any chance? I'm really not comfortable paying 450 + 100 shipping for a set of adapters...

yeah mate, ive made myself a set of 4x100 25mm spacers, im machining up some 4x100 to 5x130 ones (porsche) 4x100 to 5x112, ANYTHING!!!

except 4x100 to 5x100 because that is not possible
im sick of paying 3million dollars for a set of spacers!!

I bought mine (now in Steve's hands) from ADAPT-IT-USA. They were decent quality and was a good price too, except they didn't ship direct to Australia. I got a mate from the US to receive my package then ship it down for me. Total ended up being ~$320USD and the dollar was strong at the time. Came inclusive with studs and nuts to hold the adapter onto the hub, and pressed studs onto the adapter to attach the wheel onto. Minimum thickness was 25mm. Motorsport Tech (google search them - they're also in the US) are a lot more expensive but they can make 20mm adapters.

Find out the offset on your Merc wheels. If you're planning on putting the 7's at the front, you don't want any less than a final offset of ET20 and for the rear 8's, final offset of around ET20 will have the wheels sit flush.

Thanks for the replies fellas. I do not have an "ET: XX" stamp on the wheels. The markings are:

Wheel 1
16x7
Y-046
A circle with "H on 10"
A circle with "95 on 7"
Tyre: 205/50

Wheel 2
16x7
Y-046
A circle with "H on 11"
A circle with "95 on 7"
Tyre: 205/50

Wheel 3
16x8
Y-046
A circle with "K on 18"
A circle with "95 on 9"
Tyre: 225/50

Wheel 4
16x8
Y-046
A circle with "V on 19"
A circle with "95 on 9"
Tyre: 225/50

From that I think the "Y-046" is the model number.
The "letter on a number" may be casting/production/manufacture code/label.
And then as far as 16x7 goes, 95/7 = 13.57
16x8, 95/9 = 10.55

Sorry for the lack of "useful" information. Best I have unfortunately.

So according to Ray, I would need 8mm spacers for the front for about 20, and 10mm for the rear?
