Question About wheel spacers.
On a 4matic if I ran 12mm spacers in the back and 15mm in the front to have the wheels sit dead flush, will it ruin or cause stress on the 4matic tranny?

Can someone help or fwd me to a link explaining this pls.

Thanks
JG

Personally it depends on the car. You have to go out and measure the car. I have 10mm front and 20 mm rears. I could have gone with a 12mm front but I was worried they would rub since my car is lower.

As for tranny, spacers do not affect the transmission at all.

In guessing you have a sport model but luxury the rear is a lot more. And there is hardly any fender area to get rolled.
