recessed versus raised lug-bolt holes
I bought a set of used 14" rims off a W115 240D (MB part #115-400-13-02) to use with the narrower winter tires I run on my W115 300D. Both sets of rims have the same offset.
When I went to change the tires I noticed that the the lug-bolt holes on the 240D rims are recessed. The lug-bolt holes on the 300D rims are raised. The recessed holes made me stop in my tracks! I'd never seen recessed holes before, and the way they fit the axle shaft flange is so strange (contact between the rim and the axle flange only at the 5 lug-bolt holes and the center hole). Did I buy the wrong rims or does it really matter whether the bolt holes are recessed or raised as long as the rims fit? Robert |
