Spacers Up Front?

Hello, are spacers in the front of a w208 okay? i'm thinking of purchasing some wheels that are 19 x 8.5, 45mm up front and 19 x 9.5, 44mm on the rear, i was thinking of purchasing some 10mm h&r hubcentric spacers for all the wheels to make them 35mm in the front and 34mm in the rear will this work? I'm planning on lowering my car so i want them to tuck in under the fender, any help would be greatly appreciated.

This was just covered a few days ago in this very forum... https://mbworld.org/forums/clk-class-w208/100509-wheel-spacers-bolts.html

Also, if the specs on those rims are correct, if they use ball seat lugs, the lug size is probably incorrect because they were made for a car with 14mm lugs.

Scorchie these wheels came off a e-class and there are 5 x 112, i keep getting mixed searches, some say it's okay to use spacers in the front as long as it's a 10mm, and others say the max should be only 5mm, i just want to make sure i can use these wheels on my vehicle before i buy them...any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have 10mm on the front and have a wobble! I would not recomend to use such things on your ride.
