B. Detaching the standard wheels

Copyright DaimlerChrysler AG 08.12.2004 CD-Ausgabe G/05/02 Will not be recorded by Modification services Page 2
 1 Remove wheel covers on steel disk wheels.

2 Slacken wheel bolts.

3 Raise vehicle.

4 Unscrew wheel bolts.

Note

When unscrewing the final wheel bolt be sure that

the wheel does not suddenly tilt off the hub.

5 Remove wheel.

Five of the standard wheel bolts removed must be

retained for the spare wheel.

The standard production spare wheel can be used

as a temporary spare wheel.

A maximum speed of 80 km/h is permissible due to

the change in handling characteristics resulting from
different tire rolling circumferences and wheel
offsets. For this purpose, the standard production
spare wheel is to be identified with the enclosed
auxiliary sticker

(H WA201 584 04 39). Replace the temporary spare

wheel with a standard wheel as soon as possible.

C. Modifications to the body

 1 Adjusting the front fender

1.1 Detach side panel on the front fender from the

fixing elements, pull to the rear and remove.

1.2 Unscrew bolts (A and B) on fender.

1.3 Slacken bolt (A) on side of bumper.

 1.4 Press the side part of the bumper downwards
and loosen and unscrew the bolts for fender fixing
(item A and B). Clamp a spacer between fender and
body on the left and the right. The bore holes must
align to permit troublefree fixing.

1.5 Place one spacer on the left and right between

the fender and body in the side area of the bumper.

1.6 Tighten all bolts slightly in accordance with

layout. Tighten bolts after a visual inspection.

2 Reworking the body at the front fenders.

 2.1 Flattening down front fender flange:
When converting to wider wheels and tyres the inside
edges of the front fender must be flattened down to an
angle of 110° over the complete wheel cutout.

2.2 If excessive PVC underbody protection has

been applied, grind off excess before folding back the
fender flange.

2.3 Using a hot air gun carefully heat up outer edges

of fender to a maximum of 70° - 80°C.

Note
Do not overheat paint whilst applying heat
(max. 80°C).

2.4 In the marked area (A), the fender flange is

flattened down up to the inside of the fender in several
stages. A plastic hammer must be used to avoid
damaging the paint.

2.5 Allow front fender flare to curve smoothly back

towards original, unflared line within the marked area
(B).

Note
Rectify any damage to paint or underbody protection.

2.6 Grind off side panel to match the reworked

fender contour and assemble.

 3 Folding back the edge of rear fender

3.1 If excessive PVC underbody protection has

been applied, grind off excess before folding back
the edge of the fender.

3.2 Using a hot air gun carefully heat up outer

edges of fender to a maximum of 70° - 80°C.

Note
Do not overheat paint whilst applying heat
(max. 80°C).

3.3 In the marked area (A), the fender flange is

flattened down up to the inside of the fender in several
stages.
A plastic hammer must be used to avoid damaging
the paint.

Note
Rectify any damage to paint or underbody protection.

3.4 Treat wheel arch again with underbody

protection. Spray the folded back fender edges with
body cavity preserver.

D. Fitting the special wheels

 1 Screw in centering bolts (tool kit) in upper
tapped hole of the wheel hub.

2 Put on AMG light alloy wheel and press onto

wheel hub.

3 Screw in wheel bolts and tighten positively. The

wheel bolts must be dry and free from grease.
Ensure that the wheels are not tensioned by
tightening the wheel bolts on one side. (Tighten
wheel bolts diagonally in several stages).

Only M12 x 1.5 x 40 mm spherical collar bolts

supplied with the rims are to be used for the wheel
fixing.

4 Unscrew centering bolt and replace by a wheel

bolt.

5 Lower vehicle.

6 Evenly tighten wheel bolts diagonally to a

tightening torque of 110 Nm.

M
AMG light alloy wheel bolts must be retightened after
100 - 500 km. (Tightening torque 110 Nm).

For reasons of safety and standardized appearance,

wheel no. C740 0187 and wheel no. H WA201 400
11 02 must not be mixed but only fitted to the
vehicle in sets.

E. Tire inflation pressure/tire makes/using snow chains

1 The tire inflation pressure is to be adjusted in

accordance with the production tire inflation
pressure plate in the gas tank flap.

2 Recommended tire makes can be obtained

from the current Service Information "Summer tires
in conjunction with AMG special equipment and
AMG light alloy wheels from the accessory range".

3 Fitting snow chains in conjunction with the

AMG wheel/tire combination is not permitted.
