| Not another WHEEL thread, but a SPACER thread Gentlemen,
I went to the scrap yard today to pick up a "new" condenser and saw a wrecked w124 300CE with nice 16" RS90 Lorinser chromes sitting there. I know, I know...anticipating another "w124 to w126" rim question, the crowd moans in anguish. But hark!
These turned out to be LK 112, 7.5 wide, ET 35 so AS WE ALL KNOW, I will need spacers for those to fit, but for 200 bucks for the set I could not wait for the answer to the question and had to bag them, stat.
Now, I am wondering what spacers to get and what a good place to order from would be. Also, if I should go with 10mm ones to make it back to stock offset, or bring the wheels out ever so slightly to fill out the wheel wells a little. From prior threads I assume that 15mm spacers would still be reasonable and that either way, "hub-centric" ones are the way to go. Should I go screw-on or screw-through, and will I need new lug nuts for either technique and size?
Pretty much, I'd like to hear your valued opinions and experiences.
Basic info: I am currently running OEM 15", my front fender lips are rolled (I guess per factory), and my suspension setup I assume to be all stock.
Thanks in advance!
