Do the centers need to be enlarged ???? has anyone done >this.. different Merc wheels have different offsets. I have a set of 16x7" CLK alloys which I bought from Bent Bits; if I can stuff a set of Porsche 993 brakes inside them I'll be using them, with 11mm spacers, on my 2WD. They are ET37; this rim size needs alteration to ET26 or so, hence the need for spacers. Center openings don't need enlarging. Some Mercs have big studs and won't need enlarging of the lugholes (S-Class). You may need longer front bolts... ask Bent.
