Help with spacers for 2001 C240
Hey guys,
I'm looking to get some H&R spacers for my C240. My summer rims are these in 18" size wrapped in 225/40/r18 rubber:

I'm debating between the H&R DR Series 10, 12, and 15mm options. Anyone have any experience with these or any suggestions? I'm also getting her lowered on H&R Part #29392 which will give me a touch over an 1" drop.
Thanks in advance!

when doing the specific search for our model they're 18x8 +32. I would do 5mm or 10mm in front and 10mm or 15mm in rear to get an even flush look. But DAMN them 18x8 are 26.5lbs each... thats some heavy wheels.

with 18x8 in front you can go to +20 without needing to roll the fenders. and with most going to 9.5" in back you have an extra 1.5" or 38mm of space to play with so 15mm wouldnt cause any problems in back.
