16" x8j, ET 24.. on a 10v 200? - Page 2

Are they not Merc wheels? Offset, Cbore, bolt hole size not PCD and Taper pattern would confirm.

20V rear arches have minimal extra clearance, better to roll the old arches unless you are after the V8 20V look.

They might well be Merc wheels, but apparently they're from an old audi..

Just going on what I was told.

Merc use M12 Taper bolts and Audi use M14 Bull nose. No real porblem as long as the bolts are correct.

Merc wheels are always an option for 100/200's as you can get a fair bit of back clearance on the rears of a FWD and spacer to fit if q as the ET' vary a lot more than Audi OE wheels
