New 10mm ECS spacers available
Hey guys, I bought 2 sets of 10mm ECS spacers but only ended up using 1 pair.
I have an extra pair with the lugs...PM me if interested.

LOL, very wrong bud. I have them on the car now and they fit perfect. They were recommended to me by another C43 owner who also
has them. Not sure where you got your info.

do you have pictures of them installed? What is your model year? as far as we have seen on this forum, all the 2016-2017 c43/450 hubs are the same. they do not sit flush with the hub and will crack. so unless your hubs are different i dont see how they will fit.

I have a 2018 C43 sedan and they fit flush for me. If not, I really missed something. Both ECS Tuning and NYCSoiL have confirmed fitment before
I ordered. My car is in getting some work done today but I'll take pictures next to the 15mm spacer I was using, look the exact same less 5mm.

Either that or I f'd something up royally but my car is in the shop getting some things done so I'll have to check when I get it back.
I didn't have any issues sliding the wheel/spacer onto the hub so I'm sure it's fine or else I wouldn't have been able to mount it
on the hub by hand holding it flush.

probably true but its possible it was still sitting off the hub by a mil or 2 and when you take wheel off spacer will be cracked. happened to one of the c63 guys. i would just double check and the info would be good for forum to have.

I guess I'll find out when I pick up my car as they had to remove the front wheels to throw some new tires on.
I sure hope that's not the case but if so, I'm going to have to find another 10mm spacer solution.

Will do. Sorry if I came off as a jerk, I was pretty sure given another member and ECS tuning confirmed that I was all good.
Especially given everything seemed to mount fine.
Ok, good to know H&R works, I'll have to swap that out if my current ones are cracked. Thanks!

Wow, I'm very sensitive to anything feeling off and it feels perfect so very concerning to me given the unsafe factor. I'll swap them out, does anybody know what h&r ones work for 10mm and if they come in black. Thanks guys.

its possible your 2018 has smaller hubs than the rest of us. but if so this c400/c450/c43 is like the most changed car mid cycle ever lol. i would double check to make sure it sits flush on wheel AND most importantly flush on hub. to check this take spacer out of wheel and put it on hub alone. see if there is any gap between spacer and hub/rotor face. if so its not seating correctly, but dont be surprised if it cracks when wheel comes off. if it looks good, then we can confirm 2018s have smaller hub lips than 2016/2017s.

Are these the HRE ones that are supposed to be the correct fit?

keep in mind only the 12mm works front and rear. the 10mm only works on the front.

yea, if your hubs are the same as ours i can tell you not any other "safe" spacer in the 8mm-12mm range will fit besides the H&R ones i posted.
unfortunately they do not make them in black. I was disappointed at first too, but after getting them on the car, it just looks like an extension of the rotor. so it blends into the rotor instead of the wheel. Its not a huge deal. they are clear anodized so still protected from elements and will not corrode or bind to hub or wheel.

maybe check to see if yours fit or not? do you actually have them on the car? if they are on the car and you are driving daily with no vibration its possible they fit and your hubs are shorter. take 10 minutes to take your wheel off and see. you may not need to buy the special ones if the ones you have work.
