Sanch, how did you get around the hub centric collar issue with a 10mm spacer? I know you had it custom machined but wouldn't you have the same issue as buying a 10mm spacer from the beginning? Thanks.

reviving an old thread. i would also like to know how sanch got a 10mm spacer to work.
also has anyone tried a 13mm spacer? we know 12mm doesnt work, but does the extra mm give enough clearance to sit flush?

as far as i can tell and after a few inquiries with reputable manufacturers, 6mm or less should work on front 8mm or less on back. and then you have to go to 14mm+. nnothing in between will allow the hub to extend enough to center wheel.

I have a 2017 C63s coupe using 12mm rears and the hub is not an issue, at least for the aluminum spacers that I'm running. I'm also lowered with 295s out back. I have 15mm on the front but I'm changing to 20mm. I'll take a picture of them seated flush with the hub when I get home.

your hubs must be longer than the c300 and c43s. cause there is no way we can fit a 12mm wheel and hub centric spacer on front or rear and still clear hub. are your spacers flat or are the wheel and hub centric?
edit: the link posted from ebay shows wheel and hub centric. this must mean your hubs are shorter than ours. or those spacers wheel centric portion have an extremely thin lip.

I put on 255 F / 275 R and 15 mm spacers from Supreme Power all around. The rear pokes a little more than I would like, but the 15 mm are hub-centric and safer to run than anything thinner.
The new rubber is Pilot Sport 4S, and these tires are amazing. No break in traction at all in 1st gear, compared to tons of wheel hop with the SuperSports. I was concerned about not going to 285, but have no regrets about only going to 275.

I just wanted to add to this thread. I fitted the PS4S in 295 today. Running KW and have 12mm Eibach spacers in the rear, they were rubbing on slow turns and bumps. Car might be too low and also I think the 4S in 295 is actually 10mm wider than the SS. Going to try and raise the rear and see how we go.
