    Apparently you can buy 10mm steel adapters? H&R sell them or something? I think i read it somewhere...

    Gees those wheels look nice. They would have almost been worth buying a car to fit them to!

    FYI, i think some mercs had BBS wheels with those centres too??

    I'll do a trial fit over the hols and get some numbers to work out what size adapters. Could end up being solid stretch, even with only 15mm adapters...
    remember you can dial in camber too

    So today I trial fitted the wheel to work out what size adapters to get.

    Here are pics from the front, back & side:






    From this i measured with a 60/30 set square 5mm from "square" down from the guards to the lip, clearance.
    I know that there will be more clearance with the car on the ground with the geometry changes so.....I think 10mm on the front and 15mm on the back would suffice, poke but not too extreme...or 15 front 20 backs?
    From ECS, about 500 shipped, so not too bad.

    I'd go as thin as I can, front and rear. Tyres are gonna get raped as it is.
