Need help with spacer fitment. I have a 02 C230 Coupe with 18X8 35 offset on the front and rear. I would like to purchase some spacer for the rear wheel. I cannot decide between 10mm or 15mm. The tire size is 225/40/18. Thanks!

phister

I'd do 10mm front and 15mm rear since you have 8"

If you want a set of 10mm, I have two sets of the Eibach pro spacer, one used and one brand new. PM me for pricing.

So will those esm bbs rs reps work? anyone test fit to see how much clearance is needed for the front brakes?

at et 35 front, will a 5-8mm spacer clear the brake?

at e40 rear wont a 5 mm spacer do just fine?

if these could clear running 225/255 setup, i might sell my polished monoblock reps for these...

i think my reps were custom made for et 28 front and 30 rear, and they fit great, no rubs.

Yup they work, I have that setup. Front you're going to need a 12mm spacer to clear the brakes and make sure to get H&R front spacers specifically for our cars, rear you can get any brand. Rear you should be good with a 12 mm spacer aswell. Definitely get 225 series tire for the front to avoid rubbing if you plan on lowering and 255 or 245 in the rear should avoid any rubbing issues. You are going to have a problem with fitting front center caps with the H&R spacers though, the hub extension on these spacers doesnt allow the center caps to clip onto the wheels, what I did was cut the little clips on the centercaps and used some clear silicone to attach them to the wheels. Oh well halfass way of doing it but it works.

anthuny85

are these the RS reps or LM style? do you have pics?

a3i

LM style, I just posted a couple of pics in the picture thread

Hey I'm new to the site and am also a new mercedes owner. I've been wanting to get a set of wheels for the 2004 C320 4matic i just purchased but want to make sure i get ones that will fit correctly without any adjustments. The wheels i have been looking to buy are 18x8.5/35 offset/66.6 bore/5x112 bolt pattern. Would these fit on my car.

phister

Yes they'll fit. Just skim through the thread and you'll see what everyone is running.

If you don't plan on lowering or rolling and pulling the fender then you should look for an offset between +25-38. As for tires you shouldn't exceed 235 infront and 265 rear, 275 can fit but you'll need to get the right offset so nothing rubs.

Are +25 in the front and +20 in the rear considered flush offsets?

Wheels are Authentic BBS LM 17x8. +45 front and +42 rear. The owner don't really know much of the wheels.What spacers should I run to get a flush fitment? It'd be nice to be a little tuck in so I can dumped it all the way.

phister

For 8" width you can get away with +20 all around.

SkankZ

Thanks a bunch. Hopefully running +20ish spacers won't stick out too crazy. I didn't want to roll/pull my fenders yet. Money is limited for now

WeHi, I'm Interested in obtain spacers for my car but I'm not sure the right ones for my actual setting. My Mercedes c230 kompressor sedan 2005 runs with 19-8.5 front (235-35-19) , 19-9.5 Rear (265-30-19) with the oem springs. I looking to upgrade with eibach pro kit and bilstein shocks. What size of spacers do you recommend in both set up with no rubing just what that the car looks better

phister

We need the offsets

Fraomaguire

Offset : 35 MM

Bolt Pattern : 5-112 MM

Hub Bore : 66.6

Im want looks wider and nice. So, any suggestions in the two set up is greatly appreciate ... Thanks!

C230 Mulac

Offset is 35mm all around?

Fraomaguire

30 MM front

35 MM Rear

Tires : Falken 452's

phister

I'd go 3mm up front and 5mm in the rear. It'll push it out enough to be flush but not rub unless you plan on rolling the fender and grinding the bracket holding the bumper to the quarter panel. With 265 tires its hard to go pretty low on the offset because it'll start rubbing pretty quick. Ask Trutaing about it, he just put 265 on and is running cls wheels and has some rubbing.

Fraomaguire

Thanks for your reply and your suggestions . My Mercedes Benz C 230 Sport is white too . So, if I'd go like you said with oem springs there no rubing, Right ... but if I go with eibach pro kit using the spacers I expect some Rubing? Is going to low to much ?

I need everyones opinion i came across a good deal on carlsson wheels 1/6 evo 19x8.5 f et 40 and 19x10 r et 45. My w203 is pure oem all around and is it possible to make this look right? Because the rear wheels concern me on its width. I would like my car to have a oem look... If that make sense (sorry on my iphone)
All opinons concerns are welcome....

phister

Get 10mm front and 12-15mm rear.

phister

Eibach will drop it about 1.2" if I remember correctly. It'll rub some.

Fraomaguire

Thanks for your suggestions . Im going to put 3MM Front and 5MM Rear with the oem sport spring. Hope that my car looks a little wider and nice with no rubing

Thanks so much .... Phister !
