looks good to me in rear. The fronts do poke slightly, but if you had an 8.5 inch aftermarket wheel That is about how much they would poke plus or minus a few mm.
id be curious if you can fit smaller than 15mm spacers in the front. Let me know if you can fit 12mm spacers in the front if you get them. I think 10mm was confirmed to not fit on front.

I have 13mm up front. Vossen sent them when I purchased my 20" VFS-2's directly from them. I am lowered on H&R's.
Alexasa, mind posting some pictures of your car with the spacers? If I drop the height, 15 in the rear is possible right?
Sure.
Below is 5mm up front:
Below is no spacer in the front and 8mm spacer in rear:
Below is 18mm in rear:
Some more Information..
Lowering the car will change the amount of clearance you have by about ~10mm due to the natural camber from lowering the car. If you got control arms to adjust to OEM spec, you can neutralize this effect (but it's not necessary and won't be enough to prematurely wear the tires).
8mm spacers will not have much of any OE hub to mount to, so installation should be done with a wheel hanger to ensure no vibration is resulted.
Also, I have tried H&R 10/12mm's spacers and 10/12.5 ECS spacers and none of them mount flush to the vehicle hub and/or the rear mounting surface of the wheel.
Guys what is the general consensus on the strength and quality of the ECS tuning lug bolts? H&R does not make the size I need. I want a 3mm spacer on the front, so 30mm bolt for fronts. And 5mm in the rear, so 33mm bolts for rear.
Read a thread on one of the BMW forums that a guy sheared his rear wheel bolts during a drag race. If that happens to my car, I will kill myself even if the crash does not kill me.

bolts don't have to be the exact measurement, you can use a 1-2mm longer or shorter bolt most of the time.
Can you use 35mm HandR bolts for the 5mm spacer? Any issue of hitting brake components on the other side?
That's something you could physically verify if willing to remove the wheel. Otherwise, I wouldn't believe to run into any problems. Also, you can get quality bolts from so many different places if you don't want to be married to that specifically.
I have 15MM ECS Spacers all around, plus the extended lug bolts. I also have aftermarket 8.5 front and 9.5 rear width rims. I drive my car aggressively on a daily basis. No issues here.
hey! seen a pic of that wheel setup you have on your 450. any possible way i can get some more pics all around. have in mind to run the same setup as you..how do you like it so far?
I went 20mm all around. No issues with H&Rs on stock 19’s. Love the look and car feels great at all speeds. I drive a 400 though!

Hi CA400
I have the same car, and I'm looking for spacer, so after reading all the posts, I assume C400 is same as C450 for the hub design.
Do you have airmatic suspension ?
I'm wanted to know if an issue happened with the airmatic and the car is lowered, is it a problem if we have a spacers mounted ?
Do you still have part number of H&R spacers and the lug nuts specs ?
Probably I will go with 15mm in the front and 20mm in the rear.
Thanks

no airmatic suspension. My car is lowered with H&R sprints and Bilstien lowered specific struts. I’ll have to look at box but not sure there is a part number? Yes, I would be able to slap these on other C classes. So hub should be the same!
Thanks for your reply. So do you think I can put spacers on my C400 without lowering my car ? I probably won't convert my airmatic, except if it exist lowered airsping.

Yes, you can add spacers without lowering it. I don’t think it would look too good good though. The fender gap is too wide in my opinion.
