Spacers for ASA's?
I recently got a set of ASA ST4 17 x 8's all around, I haven't put them on yet, but does anyone out there have them on their 2005 C230 Sedan or know for a fact if I'm going to need spacers to put them on? Thanks.

yes, ASA is a brand of wheels, and yes, they are an AMG twin spoke replica. I've seen the same as you Blake, that w/ the bbk (big brake kit for you newbies out there), that I will need either a 5mm or a 10mm spacer, but I'm trying to find out for sure before I try and install them.

Ive got 19s for my car, with a 10mm spacer for the front. Without the spacer, it clears while there is no weight on the car, then when you put the car down, thats a different story. Mine required a 10mm spacer, hub centric. I believe that they were +37 offset.
Offset has a lot to do with it.

I just had one of my tech's try and they won't fit on the bbk. The offset is 36 and the stock one's are 35, so I'm going to give it a shot w/ a 5mm spacer. I'm going to try again Friday so I'll give you guys an update and hopefully pics then.

This is my problem. I bought the 10mm spaceer from H&R. But when I went to put it on it did not fit the hub. The only way that it did is when the service guy drilled out the center. I want a spacer that fits perfect. And one that will take that little shimmy out of the wheel. Any answers? please help

Just to let you guys know, I FINALLY put on my ASA's (ST4 17 x 8's). It took a while cause I needed 5mm spacers in the front and shorter lug nuts for the back. No vibration at all. The wheels look great, but they do look a bit small on the car...don't worry, I'll have pics hopefully later today. For some reason the stock wheels look a lot bigger though.
