so i brought these rims off a kid in nyc. he dident know the bolt pattern. they came off his dad's c class benz. he thought they where 5x100. so i was taslking to a freind of mine who was telling me that c class benz rims fir the 5x114.3 bilt pattern. i had an old type r hub and rotor and decided to see if they fit and they did. there is a lil pay in the studs. there an opening from the rotor to the end of the rim. do i need hub centric rings.
I believe all Mercedes vehicles have a 5x112 bolt pattern, which is why your lugs are loose. You can't use those on hubs with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.
The lugs are probably loose because the bolt pattern is different.
As far as hub centric rings are concerned, you should definitely use them unless the center bore of your wheels are an exact match for the hub.

this si the thing, i am not 100% sure they where even on a c class. mk motorsports are mainly bmw rims, which are prob also 5x112. but as of right now i am not sure what the exact bolt parrern is. all the studs fit in the hole. the wheel wiggles just as much as any other wheel tthat dosent have lug nuts on it. just wasent sure about the gap from rotor lip to rim hub opening.
