12th Time's a Charm - Mounted My Old Mercedes S-Class Wheels on the X-Type

I wanted to get X308 Celtic alloys, but after making some drawings I decided against it...
Celtic specs:
Size: 17"x8"
PCD: 5x120
Bore: 73.9mm
ET: 33mm
With 33 ET, the inner side of a 8" wheel would be pretty much exactly in line with the stock 6.5" ET 52.5 wheel, and the extra width would make it quite "flush" on the outside. However, as it's PCD 5x120 while the X-Type is 5x108, even a 20mm thick adapter would push it outwards ridiculously. I guess there's no practical way around that.

Apologies for bumping an old thread, but I need to know something....
I understand from a thread on "Volvospeed" that these have been fitted using pcd variation lug nuts.

IIRC bolt holes on merc wheels have a radius seat, as most pcd nuts/bolts have tapered seat.....how did you overcome this ?
Thanks

Love that look..I actually sold a set of those which had been lying in my garage for years,of an old 2001 320 clk I used to own...wish I had not now... didn't know they would fit...I could have got them refurbed as I am thinking of changing my Cayman Jaguar wheels.
Nice 1! I think they are pretty classy looking but I would lose the center caps maybe.
Just my opinion...lol!..
