ok i just got off the phone with H&R and i still need help. i just bought a set of 19" brabus monoblock IV chrome replicas 8.5" front 9.5" rear. however, after trying to install them, i realized that the fronts would not clear the caliper and it seems like they were hitting the shock. i need spacers but do not know which to get. how do I decipher which mm i need from H&R and what the hub contour is for my 05 c230 SS? i realize i need longer wheel bolts and possibly hubcentric rings but no shop around where i go to college has any clue how to work with my mercedes. any help would be greatly appreicated. i am going to find the offset of the new wheels but i would like to buy anything i need to make these wheels fit ASAP as they are burning a hole in my garage. thanks guys in advance! cheers!

H&R only has 5mm and 10mm or bigger for our cars. I had a custom 7mm made to clear my brakes. Go to a auto store and buy a generic 5/16 spacer which is 8mm and try it. If it works see how much clearance you have.
