wheel spacers for c450 amg?

Does anyone have any recommendation for front wheel spacers for the c450 amg? I believe I need 10mm

Thanks,

15 is too much on stock wheels unless you have lowered the car.

I put a set of 5 on there and was content.

10 do not work due to the hub design (unless custom made). so go for 5's or 15+.

That looks like what I need. Can you link me to where you bought them or give me the exact model info?

Thanks!

Fitment was also verified by ECS via VIN#

Also had MB replace my brakes and rotors and there was no problem with fitment using these spacer @ front or rear

they may work on the 18 wheel but they DID NOT on the 19 inch multispoke wheels.

I tried both 10mm (same part number) and 12mm and neither work due to the design of the hub.

Other people have verified on c450's and c63's that 15mm spacer is the required size to fit properly (unless custom spacers). I would definitely double check.

this is the problem with smaller spacers (non-custom)

if they do have the sleeve extended, like the 10's you've posted, then it will fit the hub but not sit flush with the rear mounting surface of the wheel.

So if you have 19 inch wheels 5mm or 15mm are the only options? I dont plan on lowering my car and imagine 15mm might look a bit much if im not lowering and 5mm prob hardly makes a difference. Anyone with pics of stock 19's with 5mm spacers?

I ran 5/15 f/r on the stock wheels. rear is a hair too much with those specs.

I also ran 8's for a short time. Those require a wheel hanger, etc. to get a proper mount - but should would (I wouldn't recommend it).

Need some help on rear wheel fitment.

I know for a front 8.5" wheel I need the ET to be around 30. but I'm not sure on the rear.

Have a wheel that is 19x9.5 ET45

Is that going to work? Will I need a spacer?

Thank you in advance!

should be perfectly flush with a 275, you'll have a little bit of play with less tire.

Awesome! So no spacer is needed?

Sorry, I just like to double and triple check these sort of things

No. I am running 9.5 et 48 (have a smedge of room left to push the tire out.

It will be at it's maximum offset at OE suspension height with a 275, but will look great if that's the look you are going for.

Oh good call, I wasn't thinking about that. H&R springs are going on with them so maybe I should tick them down to 265s just to be safe?

So the front wheels I have coming are 8.5's w/ a 40et. Was just going to run a 10mm spacer and be done with it but now that I've actually read this thread, that seems like a bit of a challenge? I'm very confused here. Anyone help? Also, going to be on H&R springs with 235/35 tires if that makes any difference or helps

depends on wheel. If they are bored to 66.6 without hubrings etc. you will run into the same problem with the 10mm spacers as people have with the stock wheels. 8mm non hub-centric spacers will work but you will have to fight vibrations and ensure mounting is perfect because it won't much of any hub to sit on (I wouldn't recommend it).

235/40 would be a more appropriate tire size. and I would recommend a 265/35 for the rear on H&R's at that offset.

That way you can keep the rolling diameter the same between the front and rear and be closer to stock than a 235/35 would be.

It sounds like you need to re-evaluate the front wheels.

Re-evaluate? As in get different wheels? Too late for that as they are on their way...

There's got to be another way to fit them. Bore out the hub or spacer to make them mate flush?
