hi there guys, i really need help here.
i bought a set of 4 AMG wheels that were originally made for the A class. the model is 5 spoke 129.
i knew the offset for the A class was different than for our cars, but i thought a wheel spacer of about 1.5, 2 cm would solve that problem easily. (ET in A class: 57front, 49 rear. w202 35)
today when i took the car to the shop, he said this couldn´t be done, because the bolts are too short to do it. (the new offset and the spacer made them short).
i then asked him to buy new, longer bolts; or try finding someone that could create them.
but he said that if the bolts were as long as they needed to be, it could be dangerous for me and the car, because they could breake down.
any help? anybody had this issue or similar one?
thanks!
