Does anyone know the minimum inner-diameter needed for a wheel to clear the brakes on this car?
I had low air in one tire this morning (just stopped and topped it up from 30 to 38 ... not sure if there's a slow leak or if it had been low for awhile). With it being cold and icy outside (and my commute mostly 2 lane roads), I would rather not F around with the goop, and would prefer to have an actual spare tire that I could change.
My parents happen to have a few extra wheels from the Mercedes they had 20 years ago, it looks like it's the same bolt pattern and should fit (and the overall diameter is almost the same as well, surprisingly). Trouble is, it's a 15 inch wheel from 1989. Is there a diagram anywhere that I could look up to see if the brake caliper or other parts would interfere, or do I have to go out in the cold and measure it?
Thanks (if anyone answers this old thread I just hijacked)
