H&R 15mm Rear Spacer
I just installed H&R 15mm spacer for the rear wheel. Now, the car looks what it should have be in the first place. The rear tire align with the car a lot better. As for handling, the car is a little bir more stable at the rear. Since I have AMG sway bars, the car will oversteer during tight corners. With a little bit help of the spacer, the car won't oversteer that much during hard cornering.

No vibration at all, and my spacers sticks to the wheel. Why do you put 15mm to the front? The front tires are pretty much align to the car already.

hey did anyone notice the rear wheels on the 2005 C320 at C-Spot. they look like they are out wider than before. like they have spacers, but most likely just pushed out. did anyone else notice this?

hey tommy, you were the one who told me to get the spacers after i first posted pics of my car after i got it. you said if i were gonna keep the stock wheels to get the 20mm spacers. im so glad i did. everytime i see a coupe without them they look like the wheels are sucked in. plus from the back it makes the car look much more sporty, as the wheels stick out wider. THANKS!!!!

And yes, the new cars have wider C7-type wheels on the rears. Someone posted that over at the "other" forum; they're 8.5". Though it surprises me that MB would do that on non-AMG models.

Where to get these and the cost?
install i did myself and took about 1hr total. used the jack and equipment which came with the car to lift and remove the tires.
