Good catch! Thanks for fact-checking my post! Don't want anyone buying something based on misinformation. Given these spares are not OEM and listed for other MB/non spec'd vehicles, who knows what ppl will try to mount there for whatever reason. I have read scores of rim/tire posts where differing rims were mounted (some with spacers, some not), and sometimes ppl are finding out the wrong bolt/face/length tore expensive stuff up. The
MAIN POINT is if the rim has conical or ball seats you
MUST use the correct
bolt head face in the correct
LENGTH (if you believe these 'spares' are needed in your car).
