A few questions on wheels

[Des]

guys, a few questions if I may

which 116's had 6" and 6.5" factory steel rims on them?

mine appears to have both!

2 x on the left side 6" and 2x 6.5" on the drivers side


I always thought, maybe incorrectly that all wheels with the little round holes around the edges were 6.5's?
You get the smaller wheels on cars like W123, 230's, 250's.... etc.. that have a solid edge around the wheel.
I hope this all makes sense?




I'm guessing I should have 6.5's



thoughts?


Kind Regards

As far as I know Des the 6 inch wheels were fitted to 116 - 280S and SE(L) and all the V8's had 6.5's.

The 6 cylinders had 185 section tyres while the V8's had 205's except for the 6.9 which came with 215's.

?What is on the spare wheel?

You will either need to find two more wheels the same size as either of what you have or I would put the two wide whels on the back and leave the 6 inchers on the front.

Did that apply to the Bundts as well?
