Don't forget offset. Most late model S-class have huge offsets. Syncros can
tolerate up to ET45; 2wd about ET35 depending on width. You can correct with
spacers but correct ones can be expensive. A listmember recently reported a
wobbling problem which turned out to be caused by poor quality spacers.

Just a reminder, most MB cars used 12mm lugbolts. Those will not fit
Vanagons w/o redrilling. The mounting pads on alloy wheels are normally much
thicker than steel wheels. Longer studs and bolts can be used to compensate
but cost may offset savings on wheels.

Greater detail can be found in the archives.
