Kelly,

I had a set of E- Class 10 hole given to me from my mechanic, they were
sliver but perfect new take offs. The ET-41 and w/o spacers they barely
touched rim edge on a lock slow parking lot turn. So we put in a set of 5mm
non-centric spacers sprayed w/interior contact glue carefully lined up as to
center w/bolts to see if they moved overnight. They didn't, so we bolted on
wheels and had no vibration thank god. No more scrap at all slow or fast. It
was a 560 SEL I was selling and had a set of 16" new Michelins on them. I
ended up pick-up a set of 16X7.5 2000 chrome Chrome Clk wheels from my
friend for $100.00 w new toyo's they had a ET-37 and bolted up w/ original
bolts w/chrome covers except the frt., axel stuck out a little and couldn't
put on center caps. I bought a set of 15mm hub centric H&R spacer w/
extended bolts to match. Well they would fit over the frt. axel flush, so we
took a small body grinder and cut off the center flush even w/spacer and
they worked perfect,also w/ no vibration. Wheel ET'S for 126's are said to
be 23 to 25 by factory. But if You could grab those ET-11's if there 16's
that would be the              ( CATS MEOW). Anyway I thought that this
input might help you and not confuse you.

Regards, Clay Moizo
