Gotcha. I may have to size spacers after getting the 265s (bstone re11) and the drop.

oszlowa is also driving a wagon, so that may make a difference.

Man I wish we could get the wagon here. His is so hot.

we'll tried the spacers, the rears with 275 , and 12 mm spacers no rub. front 245 with 15 mm do rub, I got a crease in the inside fender. I took the spacers off from the front. I was wondering if their is a way to grind them down to a 12 mm spacer? I'd hate to buy another set. By the way, for any one that would like to try this mod this was on a c 63 coup pp dropped on H& R Springs with a bigger bushing for the spring in the rear.

You got the thicker pads, right?

If you had stock pads, 12mm would occasionally rub. Sorry to hear your fronts rub. My 235 PSS are really thick and just got them. Only 10 miles on them and it's cutting it close. They are basically 240/40 if you think about it since they run a little wider.

Wow, I'm surprised to hear u are rubbing in front with 245 & 15mm spacers.. What brand tires are u running? I'm running Yokos AVS with 235 & 12mm spacers, and I still have room.. That's why I believe Olszowa can run 15mm front no problem.

And I'm even more surprised to hear u don't rub in the rear with 275 & 12mm spacers? I'm running 255 & 10mm spacers & is cutting very close with my H&R drop. Props to u for making them fit. Lol

Running 245 Michelin PSS on front with 12mm spacers. No rubbing but it's close. Not sure that 15mm would clear through turns or bumps with the PSS.

wouldn't recommend 5mm because they aren't hubcentric. Need more hub flange 10mm is the way to go

I own a 2013 C300 4Matic just purchased it, with R255/35/18 and F225/40/18, i would like the rear to stick out a bit more than the front. Could i use 12mm in the rear and 10 mm in the front to make it flush with the body? Or will that rub?

Thanks in advance.

John

Thanks for the quick reply, do you think I should go with larger spacers? Like I said I just want to flush the wheels with the body. The car has the oem sport suspension on.

Again thanks.
