[W126 Coupe] Re: need bolts for 25mm spacer

[Sam Sisic]

Ned,

No I do not... I checked with a source I got my spacers from,
Performance Products, and they no longer deal with H&R as it's been
taking too long to get the spacers from them for Mercedes. 
Although the ones I got were 15mm hub-centric spacers. These will work
with simply longer bolts, i.e. 55mm shaft length. When you get into
anything over a 20mm spacer, one should use the type where the spacer
bolts to the hub first and then the standard wheel bolts are used to
bolt the wheel to the spacer.
Someone from the group also mentioned a spacer manufacturer from
Australia that makes excellent quality spacers. I can't seem to find the
link for that.
Here is an H&R link...
