- W210 E320 CDi Elegance estate 2001
Hi all. New member here so apologies if doing this wrong.
I have W210 E320 CDi estate and want to fit set of winter tyres to steel rims. I'm hoping I can use W211 steel rims as they are a thousand times easier to source. However, I appreciate that for alloy wheels there is a wheel bolt diameter change from 210 to 211, from 12mm to 14mm, but a special set of bolts is required and readily available. The key question is, does the same apply to steel rims. I am guessing it does but the bolts must be much shorter and perhaps not readily available since there would much less if any demand! A bit of an obscure question but I'd greatly appreciate any advice.
