Currently have 19" Lorinser RS5's on my C55, came with the car when I purchased it a couple years ago. 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear, no rubbing issues. However since owning the car I've had to fix multiple cracks on the wheels. Right front has been repaired twice already and now it currently has 3 cracks. Safe to say it's time for a new set of wheels.

Found someone on eBay selling a set of TSW Nurburgring's for $600. They look like new in the pictures and he said they have not been bent or repaired, so I pulled the trigger. Front will fit fine but the rear will most likely need 6mm spacers.

Front:19 x 8.5 Offset:32 mm
Rear:19 x 9.5 Offset:41mm

Anyone know where I can find 6mm hub centric spacers? And how do I know what bolt length I require?

Hubcentric spacers are on ebay (I can't search it for you b/c site is blocked on my work computer). 5mm is more common and the difference is negligible. Bolt length is standard + 6 mm.

Good luck

H&R has quality spacers (no need to go cheap on spacers, they are too important) or if you need custom ones these guys:

build high quality spacers in custom specs to order. Reasonable prices as well for good quality and fit. I think both can provide bolts with the spacers as well.

Thanks. Going to wait until they come and we can test out what I need at the shop. According to TSW they fit, but not sure I believe them.

What size tires are you running on the rims?

Based on the offsets you gave, I don't think you will need spacers...just wondering why are you thinking you will need the spacers?

I have offset 35mm on my aftermarket rear wheels and with a 265 wide tire it rubs just a tiny bit on the outside fender lip but only if I take a really, really sharp right turn and hit a bump (with more people in the car it rubs more over bumps but not bad). On the inside I have plenty of room and wish I had more like a 40mm offset so it wouldn't rub.

I guess just check it out when you get the wheels but I think you will be okay without spacers. If you do get spacers, like pww said they should be quality. I've heard H&R is good, I've used Eibach before as well and they are great. Expect to spend at least $110-120 or so, maybe as high as $200 for a good set.

^ He's probably worried about brake clearance. Doesn't matter if your offset is perfect, the design of the wheel face is everything.

Yes, but there is so much room in the rear that I think it should be okay. Those calipers are so small unlike the nice big AMG ones up front haha

Didn't even realize he was only looking for rear spacers

Yes, OP, you very likely don't need any spacers in the rear.. If you are looking for a more aggressive fit, you want more than 6 mm. I would be more worried about front clearance with those huge front brakes, like C230 Mulac said.
