All for naught as it turned out. I also bought the Mercedes fitment hub-centric spacers to sandwich this all together. Those were the only bits I needed. And they have, as I said, a very nice, snug fit to the ID of the wheels. And a nice snug fit over the hub on the car.

Please don't take this response the wrong way!

I'm a machinist and have been building machinery for 30 years.

Keep thinkin'!

I'm at a loss. I just wish someone else could drive my car for 5 minutes. They would probably say "It's this, idiot!"

Re-reading my response I understand now. Your right the INSIDE diameter is a mercedes fit. The OUTSIDE diameter is what I was stuck on.

Back to the drawing board...
