Hi All,

 Please help.  I'd like to use 15" rims as snow tires in my B200 that takes
16" rims.  I now notice that with the newer cars the bolts have become 'fatter'
as well.  I can use a few mm spacer to accomodate the Brake calipers in the
smaller rims, HOWEVER what can I do re the bolts?  Is it save to simply drill
out the older rim holes a bit to accomodate the newer fatter bolts?  Your
suggestions are appreciated..... I know, I know, it's probably not save.

cheers, guenter
