AMG's on a B5

Arrkon · Jun 7, 2012

Ok guys, just a quickie :whistle2:

New 18" AMGs are getting powdercoated as we speak, but im wondering, Do I need new bolts? The wheels have already been milled to M14 from M12 and have spigot rings, but wondering if the OEM Audi bolts are 1: Long Enough or 2: will the head fit down the hole with the socket?

Anyone fitted original mercs to their B5? anything left to look out for?

Cheers

I had new bolts to fit Merc wheels to my b5, try your local wheel/tyre centre for advice.

I don't have any mate. lol

Looks nice mate.

You happy with them?

Whats the ET on them?
The front wheels seem to stick out a but further than the rears.......................are they staggered and you put them on the wrong axles? lol

Nope... all 4 are ET37...

May stick some 5/10mm spacers on the back... but will have to see how the car sits once the coilies are on...

Nasty? Just normal 5 spokes lol.

They look good. With a bit of a drop they`ll look better. The fronts always stick out more. They did on my B7 wheels which are et42.

Chriscooke · Jun 14, 2012

Can you use generic 5mm slip on spacers with these cars even though they run bolts rather than studs?

Jason.s · Jun 15, 2012

I wouldnt...My wheel fell off on the n/s/f because it only had about 3mm of thread holding it on! You need longer bolts to fit any kind of spacer.

Arrkon · Jun 16, 2012

I'm running 40mm bolts with a 5mm spacer washer at the head end so that I can fit spacers at a later date if I want to... Lol
