Rear wheel spacers
I have a 2012 CL550 4 Matic. I have the 20" AMG wheels on the car. I have been looking for wheel spacers for the rear wheels. I have checked H&R as well as some others, and no one seems to have them. I see them for the CL600 & the AMG CL63 but not for my CL550. Are they available? Thanks.

Rear spacers
Tspike51, I just went through this and after some digging, I decided to take the plunge and order H&R TRAK+ 20mm, part #4055665 along with 65mm bolts, part #1456502. I think they will fit just fine considering they work on the S class, same wheel, per posts in the S class forum (search spacers). Ordered both through THMotorsports on Monday, they shipped same day and are scheduled to arrive Thursday. I will install this weekend and let you know how it goes. And I'll post some pictures so you can see how it looks.

just make sure you get the proper size bolts. otherwise you can thread them into the ebrake housing and ruin your ebrake mechanism. ask me how i know

Looks sharp, and the chrome wheels look spectacular on the white car, nice combo. I also now have garage envy.
Unrelated question for you, on cold days when the heater is on do you have cold air blowing out the rear center vents? The simple solution if of course to close them. My SL550 would blow cool air from the center vent on top of the dash and the dealership told me this was normal and designed to keep the smaller cabin from getting too hot which would ultimately make the driver sleepy. I bought that explanation and it was never bothersome. But the air flow coming from my rear vents is fairly strong and I can feel it recirculate around on my neck and head. Plus the cabin of this car isn't what I would call small. Wondering if this is normal and if others have the same experience before I complain. If I had passengers back there they would be freezing.

Heater Issue
I live in California and have yet to need the heater. The explanation that the dealer gave you sounds very lame. I will try on my car and see if I get the same result.
