Thanks Bill,

Been having that exact discussion here.

Always a killjoy telling you how bad you are, breaking rules etc.

I don’t care.

99% of police would not be bothered, and if you do not behave like an idiot on the road, that goes up to 100%

If push comes to shove.....

Add small deflectors or trims.




[quote author="@welshpug" source="/post/2554315/thread" timestamp="1575059332"]i don't recall what offset the 7" wheels should be on this platform so I went with 50

https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.ph...8-5&offset2=36

The Mercedes wheels are ET36 for the 8.5 and 34 for the 7.5, a 234 45 will work ok on an 8" wide wheel and be nigh on identical to the diameter of the original wheel, just a bit extra poke there as you have seen.

I would get them bolted on and weight on them as they might tuck in at the top as the suspension moves up.


Edit, I found a set like yours on ebay, ET59

That explains the poke ! an extra 42mm of wheel on the outside but the inner face sits nigh on in the same place within a mm or 3.[/quote]


THIS..........





LOOKS LIKE PRETTY DECENT NEWS.
