The fronts need special spacers compared to the rear. If I were you, the only ones I'd buy are from H&R. Also, you're going to need longer studs for the amount of spacer you add (39 or 39.9mm is stock length).

When I bought my C55 it had non hubcentric spacers on the rear. I would guess they were 5-10mm. Definately get hubcentric because the non-hubcentric made the car vibrate at highway speed. Also with 255's on the rear tires and the spacers the car rubbed in the rear on bumps. I know you asked for pictures, but I just wanted to share my experience with them.

Why run a 15mm spacer and a narrower tire. Just put 255 or 265's on the rear to fill out the wheel wells.

That won't really give the car a wider stance. Besides, I have good tires. If I am going to throw down for new tires I will just get different rims as well.
