help: 15" rim on c230 2002 model and rim won't turn!!
Hi guys and gals... it is a C230 Kompressor 2002 model, and boy, does it suck in the winter with just RWD! I hope tyres can fix my problems...
ok, so I needed some winters, and I bought some Michelin Pilot Alpin 195/65/r15 with the mercedes rims with 90% tread.
The rims are 5x112..
I spent $500ish bucks, so I hope I solve this, as my tires right now, are SO BALD!
so I put them on, and they went on just fine, but won't turn!!..
I checked, it seems to clear the calipers and all that fine, but just seized for some reason. Do I need spacers or something?? Any help would be great.
thanks!
Oh, I let up on the bolts a little, and the tire seemed to turn a little... so, I dunno if that info helps.
Simple answer: you NEED shorter lug bolts. You can't simply swap wheels on vehicles that use lug bolts instead of lug nuts. With luck you haven't done any damage to the braking components.
Easiest thing to do is to purchase the stock lug bolts for the source vehicle for the other wheels.
Take care and enjoy the ride,
Greg
