I am extremely confused. I have tried H&R, ECS Tuning and Supreme Power spacers now - all of them don't fit. The only luck I have had was with a slim spacer (less than 10mm) without hub centricity.
- The ECS Tuning spacers had the incorrect chamfer on the front of the spacer resulting in the spacer not sitting flush with the rear of the wheel hub. (10mm)
- The H&R spacers had the same problem as the ECS Tuning spacers. (12mm)
- And the Supreme Power spacers (which others are running on the C63) do not seat to the OE hub because the inner bore of the spacer steps down too soon. (12mm)
The last thing I am willing to try are the burger motorsports spacers.
I know some people have bought ebay spacers or paid way too much money for custom spacers for the car - but I will not entertain either of those options.
Just some info for those c43 guys (and I would think it would also apply to the c63 guys). Now, if I were to run the 15mm spacers from supreme power, I am thinking they would work.
Try 42 Draft Designs. I think I remember Vic saying that he couldn't do anything less than 15mm for that reason.
Yep, I had stated that the Supreme ones will work but because of the snout length on the hub you need to go with 15mm to allow for the factory hub to sit hubcentrically (a word?). 12mm is too short unless you find a unique spacer that allows for the hub to mate in and still not hit the rim backing.
After consulting with both burger motorsports and surpreme power, 15mm spacers seem to be the minimum viable spacer when not using the original hub to mount the wheel.
So, I would say 3-8mm spacers work.
and 15mm+ spacers work.
But nothing in between. (only applies to buying spacers off the shelf.)

Only problem with 15mm, if you've used a wider tire, they won't work....

As you've already mentioned 15mm+ spacers are needed following my experience with narrower ones last year, here's a pic I drew awhile back to illustrate the problem:
Anyone got a link for purchase of 15mm spacers? Also will 15mm on front and back pull the wheels out flush or do you need different sizes for front and rear?

I had my car lowered with 295s with 10mm spacers in the rear. It fit perfectly and there was no rubbing whatsoever. That's how the car should have come standard. You can even do 12mm and pull it off with out rubbing.
I'm not sure who advised against it but I can bet they are people who haven't even tried it. I can personally say no issues.
Please see my car when it was lowered with 295s - 10mm spacer rears and 20mm fronts.
