I"m looking at purchasing some aftermarket wheels and specs are close to 19 inch stock. The only issue is the aftermarket wheels have 43mm offset for the Front wheels, and stock offset is 32mm. I want to purchase some spacers and lugs to get the wheels as close to stock spec as possible.
I found this website above with these spacers, but it doesn't mention that it can fit W205 (2017 C43).
Is anyone able to confirm whether these would fit the C43? or any recommendation on websites selling the exact match of Hub centric wheel spacers?
I don't think they'll fit. The general rule is that for the W205 C43 you need spacers up to 5mm or spacers that are 15mm or more. Otherwise, they spacers will not sit flush and may cause vibrations. Also note that the W205 model is not included on the list of cars that this spacer will fit.
I believe a forum member found 10 and 12mm spacers form H&R that would work, but I don't have the specs for you so can't say which ones they are. Maybe he'll chime in and help you.
Thanks Mecca. I think i'll need 10mm spacers and 49-50mm lugs. Correct me if i'm wrong. I'm trying to correct a offset as the aftermarket wheels have all the same specs for size and diameter, but the aftermarket is 44mm offset, whereas stock is 33mm
how wide are the wheels? many members here get spacers to push the wheels past the stock offsets to give the cars a nicer look by having the wheels sit more flush with the fenders. That might be an option for you as well...but it will depend on how wide the wheels are, and if your car is lowered from stock suspension height. lots of things to consider.
The wheels are stock size wide. 19x7.5 Front and 19x8.5 Rear. The reason for spacers is because with a 44mm offset on the aftermarket front wheels, they sit closer in to the car, so i need 10mm spacers to push them out a bit, back to stock, closer to fenders.

The H&R Springs website has a table which gives you the part numbers for all available spacers for each vehicle model. Just enter this part number into the search bar on the ECS Tuning website and voila!

this look up on the H&R site is wrong. The 10mm and 12mm they offer does not fit.
EDIT:>>>DISREGARD this post as these spacers broke, see below post for more information.
FYI, I just installed these H&R Trak+ 10mm DR spacers on my 2017 C43 AMG 19" wheels and they are a perfect fit. I was a little bit nervous when buying them as people had said they don't fit, but definately do fit. No wheel shaking at any speed up to 110 km/h (didn't get a chance to go faster). Perfect fitment right into the bore. I had cleaned the mounting surface of the rotor and the wheel well to make sure of no dirt. Also used anti-seize lube on both sides of spacers, not a lot but hopefully should be fine when i take them off.

Mfg Part # 2055668 does not work with the stock wheels. 100% confirmed.
thats not the part number he bought. but if you look at that part number on ecs tuning, they have updated pictures. I am wondering if H&R updated the design.

Yeah, I was just being specific as to the 10mm that do not work that I have tried.

gotcha. yea i got that 10mm as welll and wheel side chamfer didnt work. Their new design may work but i dont like it due to reduced wheel contact area. other wheels it may work fine but with mercedes they have different contact points.
after today i will have tried just about every spacer.
I humored this thread and since i was getting other spacers anyway, i bought these exact ones mentioned above that the OP said had worked and tried them. 2055665SW is what the OP purchased and installed. i got the non sw varient which are silver (clear anodized) instead of black anodized. same spacer dimension wise.
They did NOT fit hub side. They did fit the wheel side.
SO OP, your either riding in a very dangerous setup right now, with possibly cracked spacers, or your hubs were shorter than everyone elses on the forum. Part number is in picture for reference.
thanks for posting. As expected. Anyone claiming something other than what you and I both have confirmed doesn't know what they are doing (sorry to say).
Between the two of us I think we have vetted every reputable spacer out there lol

Now I'm freaking out. I put the spacer on the wheel first then on the hub. Its aftermarket wheels. Is this not fitting properly from the picture? I'm thinking of switching to the one u suggested just in case..

most likely the spacer is cracked at the hub portion and when you take the wheel off youll see it.
UPDATE:
DO NOT BUY H&R Trak+ 10mm DR spacers (http://www.essexdistributors.com/pro...oducts_id=9274)
I will update my previous post above. After removing the wheel to see if there were any problems, both left and right wheel spacers had broken. You can see the thin metal circle, that is supposed to be attached to the spacer and together fit into the wheel. This was not good. I had to toss both of the spacers, garbage.
I had ordered the spacers that Star4Life recommended ( https://www.ecstuning.com/b-h-and-r-...pair/20556659/ ) and both fit perfectly. I thought the previous spacers were perfect, but this one actually feels aligned.
Luckily the H&R Traks didn't cause any other adverse issues because it could have been a lot worse than broken spacers.
good thing you posted here. that could have ended badly for you and the car.
anyone looking for spacers should just check out my wheel fitment guide. it pretty much has any and all info on this stuff. alexasa and i have put a lot of knowledge there. I think he had a spacer fitment thread too.
