hellu!

While I wait for my L322 to come back from the garage, I have a question about dimension. A buddy got me a set of RRS 20" wheels I can use in the winter. But I am unsure what dimension I should put on the wheels to make them correct for the L322.

Its the wheels like on this picture! RRS is 53 mm and L322 is 57 if I am correct? DO RRS fit on the L322? Will I need new nuts and spacer?

RRS wheels will fit straight away

Some recommend that you need the later l322 wheel nuts

+1 but rrs run 275/40/20. l322 run 255/50/20 different rolling radius so speedo will be 3 mph out

Not a big deal to me, but is there a dimension I can fit to counter this to get closer to the original rolling radius?

only way is change tyres but its in your favour as at 60mph you will actually be doing 57.2 mph so no speeding ticketsbut wheels will appear slightly smaller in the arches due to lower sidewall

I got the wheels almost for nothing, but the tires need changing. So I will have to buy new tires anyway.

275/45-20 seems to give the same rolling radius....
