Spacers?

Has anyone rocked spacers on their stock wheels? I hate that the ML wheels look so tucked in. Since this is my DD, didn't want to spend money getting new wheels.

I've got 30mm spacers on mine. I would say that's the minimum for the rears to stop the track looking too narrow.

The fronts also have 30mm but you could get away with less.

Pick the bolt-on type that allow you to use the original wheel bolts, not extended ones.

Hub-centric versions are advisable for these widths.

You may notice more side-to-side oscillation on rough roads but the general grip and cornering performance will improve a lot.
