What Are The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS 550 Wheel Bolts?
The wheel bolts are fasteners, just like ordinary bolts, are parts for fixing things. But this bolt is used to fix the wheel of the car to ensure that the wheel hub and the axle rotor are firmly connected, and the wheel hub centered on the axle. Many automakers choose this wheel bolt design, such as Audi, BMW, and our protagonist Mercedes-Benz today.
How To Choose The Right 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS 550 Wheel Bolts?
Wheel bolts have different shapes. Different wheels may require wheel bolts of different shapes to make them fit perfectly on the vehicle. Therefore, whether it is to refit new tires or replace old stock wheel bolts, choosing the right design wheel bolts is very important to your driving safety. There are 3 main types of wheel bolts designs: 1. Cone seat; 2. Ball seat; 3. Flat seat; For GLS, the stock wheel bolts are ball seats. Furthermore, we must not neglect the size of the wheel bolt thread. The general thread sizes are as follows: 1. M10x1.25mm; 2. M12x1.25/1.5/1.75mm; 3. M14x1.25/1.5/2mm; 4. M16x.15mm; This time, the thread size matched by the 2017 Mercedes-Benz 550 is M14x1.5 type.
Therefore, when you check the wheels and find that your wheel bolts are severely rusted or permanently deformed, you should replace them with a new set of wheel bolts. If it’s stock wheels, and no modification has been done, then you should choose a set of ball seat designs and M14x1.5 wheel bolts. In this way, your stock wheels can be firmly installed on the axle rotor, and there will not be any installation gaps in the seat hole to threaten your driving safety.
If you have modified, for example, you have chosen a set of high-performance aftermarket wheels and want to improve the operating performance and appearance of your GLS 550. Then I can clearly say that you should replace the stock wheel bolts with a new set. Because most aftermarket wheels require the cone seat bolts to match, which are the most common wheel bolts design. Then you should choose a set of M14x1.5 wheel bolts designed with a cone seat.
