w204 spacers

w204 spacers
Hi
My wife has 2011 c300 sport 4matic with the AMG 18in wheels..
My questions:
-What would be the max spacer thickness for rear and the front???
-The front wheel hub has a semi spherical grease cover that extends beyond the hub lip?? will this restrict placement of hubcentric spacer??
-We have bought set of winter wheels and tires and those need spacers bad..
I have measured and came with 15mm for the rear and 12mm for the front to appear flush -er ,,,,
-the optimal solution would be to have set that I could use for both sets??
-first problem: bought set of 12 and 15mm on ebay for the model,,, the center holes dont even fit over the hubs... and the grease cover in front??
Has anyone have any experience with this particular car and spacers???
especially the front ones???
Thank you
Chris

I'm running H&R spacers and extended bolts on my car, 10mm front and 12mm rear. So my offset comes in at +35 front and +33 rear on 8.5 wide wheels. Get quality spacers or at least search the hub size you need to get so your eBay spacers will fit.

Thank you,
Which wheels are you using?? standard ? or the AMG??
The 10mm front.. any issues fitting it over the grease cap??
Which 204 are you driving??
Do you still have the part nr. for the spacers???
I am pretty sure I have seen w204 with 12mm rear and 10mm front and it looked perfect..
However there was bunch of guys on forums going back from 10mm rear on AMG to 5mm
to look right???? so I am pretty confused...

I'm running vmr v710 wheels in 18x8.5 all around with 225/40/18 tires. No issues fitting the spacers over the center bores as these are Mercedes specific spacers. C200 cgi avantgarde trim. I dont have the part numbers on hand but just look it up on hr website.

The grease cap is smaller than the hub so your spacer will fit right over it no problem. On my factory wheels I was running 12mm front spacers and 20mm rear, zero issues. I'm also lowered on coils so my camber let me run a slightly wider track than stock.

This is the oem wheel data for the 2008 W204:
Wheel Size and Offsets, 2008
Just look at the position of the oem outer side of the specified tire, relative to the hub face. As I understand it, front and rear hub face spacing is the same.
So if I look at the offset to the outer tire face, from the hub face, I get:
65.5mm, F & R, ... oem Lux model, no stagger.
62.5mm F, 73.5mm R, staggered 18" option.
72.5mm F, 73.3mm R, C63 18's.
For these 3 cases, the front outer tire surface equaled the rear, except for the staggered 18" option, where the fronts have 11 mm less "lateral projection" vs the rears.
I focused on the position of the outer face of the tires, because that is what the eye sees.

The data I have for the non-staggered Lux models, at least for the early W204's, listed the front track as 60.7", and rear at 60.8", .1" difference, which is about the same for me.
For the staggered 17" wheels, the rear tires are 20mm wider than the fronts, but the rear wheels also have 11mm more offset than the fronts. As I originally said, this puts the outer face of the tires with the same separation, front and rear for these staggered tires. But the rear track is 22mm less than the front track.
Your promise seems to be weak here unless there is a big difference in offsets for later models.

Weird, I actually run a wider spacer in the rear on my lux model just to flush all four corners. But based on your info (if I'm reading it correctly) they should've been the same all around to begin with?

Yes by eyeball, when I was running my wheels without spacers you could clearly see that the fronts stuck out more than the rears. It's possible that the fenders have something to do with it as in some angles the front fender can seem more aggressive than the rears also noting that the position is also different. In the end, adding my spacers have visually flushed all 4 corners for me.

2012 c250 sport, amg 18 wheels, H&R sport, nav, 12mm rear 15 front spacers, Godhand front splitter
W204 spacers
I have a 2012 c250 and am running 20mm on the rear and 12mm up front. I have the amg 18 wheels and it looks perfect. Aggressive but I like it. I also have the upgrades factory sport suspension so it's a bit lower from the factory.

did you ever end up throwing spacers on your stock wheels? I have the Same wheels on my sport c300 2010 and I’m trying to figure out what to do. I want wheels flush with fender and I do have staggered tires

Um... I did address the axles widths:
"As I understand it, front and rear hub face spacing is the same."
The data I have for the non-staggered Lux models, at least for the early W204's, listed the front track as 60.7", and rear at 60.8", .1" difference, which is about the same for me.
For the staggered 17" wheels, the rear tires are 20mm wider than the fronts, but the rear wheels also have 11mm more offset than the fronts. As I originally said, this puts the outer face of the tires with the same separation, front and rear for these staggered tires. But the rear track is 22mm less than the front track.

I have the basic 17” stock sport rims. I would love to have the wheels flush with the fenders but not sticking out past the fender. So what size should I do
