Subject:Mercedes rims...I have a question

Hi Gang...

I've been preparing to mount a nice set of these on my bus for some
time...have sourced the tires, correct wheel nuts and longer
studs...BUT...where does the ET figure come from...I've looked
everywhere on my rims and can only find the following information on the
inside fin edge...

6 1/2JX14H2
1084001002

1272 is stamped on the flange contact area

AS162 is on the inside of another fin..

Stock rim has a 4 3/4" offset measured from the inside edge of the
mounting point to the inside edge of the rim

The rims off the Mercedes have a 5" offset measured the same way, but
since only 1/4" of this is inside will I really have an issue with
clearance...

What a great resource this thread has been...sorry to ask this in case
I've missed an earlier reply, I can't find one if I did..

Thanks, Den.
