I just fitted some 7 x 16" Merc wheels to my T3 and they had issues with the front. Needed spacers to clear the upper ball-joint.

They look good. What size are the tires and rims.

merc wheels are 16 x 7", need to check the ET, tyres are Bridgestone 225/60

So alloy rims that are 17 " with 71/2 width and ET 35 should fit 225 tyre, correct. I checked with the samba and the brick place online and our own blog, but it seems a borderline call.

I might need to add a 10 - 15 mm spacer just to be safe, would this rub against the body anywhere. What difference would this type of tire make to the ride of the T25. softer/harsher/smoother etc. how expensive are these tyres.

Thanks for any advice.
