I wouldn't use spacers for such a big project... the wheels will look tiny from the rear of the car, it wont look right. Maximize your traction by installing wide wheels/tires to fill the space.
But if you still want to go ahead with spacers, it will be hard for us to determine how many mm you need cuz each conversion is different. I would suggest you to do it first, and measure after, spacers are cheap & can be added on easily afterwards. Good luck!

2013 C63 Coupe BS Conversion
You can't do this...you would need massive spacers. The stock Black Series wheels won't work either as remember the BS is a wider rear axle form the E. You need custom wheels for this conversion unless you swap the axle too (I think Dads63 did this on his sedan conversion a while back). Best thing to do is sell your stock wheels and replace with wheels with a crazy aggressive offset. I suggest something like 19x9 +21 (front) and 20x11 +19 (rear). That will get you fairly flush for both.
