Hi hope you can help... my car is a W124 e280 petrol estate
I'm just changing over to my winter tyres..
I bought a set of standard 8 hole MB tyres and alloys...205 x 65 x 15... 7J x 15 - ET25 which seems to be the correct size and offset.
I didnt have any bolts so went to dronsfields as they are near to me.. bought 20 of what they told me where W124 alloy bolts seem to be correct sizes from what ive read and seen on this site..
I put the new wheels and tyres on and then drove up the road for about 40 yards but there was a serious knocking from the rear ...
I'd double checked they were tight and torqued..
I'm concerned that these are the wrong wheel bolts...should the thread go to top?
any help very welcome...
p.s put old wheels back on rear knocking goes. ?
What i'm thinking is they are tightening but not sufficiently to hold and when under working pressure they are knocking? thoughts
many thanks
