Anyone know what the thread size and type is for a 190? not sure if its M12 or M14 and i've noticed other numbers like 1.25, 1.5 etc The only thing i am sure of is the lenght...........i think!!!

Off the top of my head, i think you're looking for about 13-15mm of thread protruding through the bolt hole in the wheel, to grip into the hub. They're M12. Only the very newest and biggest Benzes use M14. Good luck, and as we say around here... Pics When Fitted!

Some have a slightly different angle on the taper but they all came from the same wheels. How many do you need ? You dont have any steely ones hanging around do you, I would like 4 for my spare wheel. I cant actually fit it at present, hope I dont get a puncture !!
