Wanting to put 15' Mercedes wheels on Kombi
Hi Guys, Just a few question regarding 5 x 112 Mercedes wheels on a kombi.
1. Will a Vw hubcap fit these?
2. What would be a good tyre size front and rear?
I found this pic and realy like the tyre pattern and fit, i assume they are 15's, can any one make out the brand of tyre?
Cheers

I'd be guessing they are stock bay rims, so 14"
VW hubcaps will not fit to Merc rims without making up some way to hold them on. I did this with clips from early beetle rims, but was not a perfect
fit.
To be legal, you need to keep the diameter close to stock. There are allowances for different diameter and width to stock, but it's not a lot.
Anything else will need a certificate for a change.
