Considering spacers for my 2019 C63S coupe. What size are folks that have them using? Could you share pics?
Not interested in pics or sizes of lowered cars. Sorry, not lowering mine.
I searched and there isn't much from recent threads or non lowered cars.
That looks good! Did you ever try 15R and 12F? The fronts almost look slightly TOO far out and the rears look slightly too far in, unless it's the angle of the photo.
Most folks tend to opt for spacers ranging from 10mm to 20mm, which provides a noticeable width without compromising the handling or putting undue stress on the suspension components. It’s essential to choose the right thickness to maintain the correct offset, ensuring that your wheels sit flush without causing any tire rubbing, especially during tight maneuvers or when the suspension compresses.
Yeah...I would err on the more conservative side...I doubt I'd go more than 15 & 12...but I'm wondering if I'd like it better with 12F/15R..If the 15R wouldn't rub?

I think it has a lot to do with the rear tire sidewall thickness/stretch. Front is pretty beefy, the rear not so much, so it looks more "in" than it actually is. Here are a couple more pics from a more direct angle. I tried my best to find comparable before/after shots in my last post.
Rear Front
The front is almost perfectly flush with the fender (furthest point of the tire). As of now, could easily run a 15 in the rear as well, but I'm definitely going up a size or two on the rear tires when these are shot. So I'll wait, if it looks like I can space them a bit more with the bigger tires then I will. For now, it's the "free" spacers...lol, still better than it was for sure.
I think the angulations of all of.the pics in this thread throw it off, but ssg, yours do make it look perfect.
What year is your car and do you know what length lugs you got?
