Wheel spacers

Hello all,

Can I use wheel spacers all around on stock wheels for nothing more than a more agressive look?

2000 CLK 430 on 17" AMG 5 spokes.

Any harm in doing this?
Trying to push wheels out flush.

Cost?
Brand?
Where to buy.

Thanks.

Ive searched and find most talk on after market wheels or wheels that dont fit.

My question is with wheels that do fit.

Also if I use google I wont be able to interact with like minded people and perhaps maybe make some new friendships in the process.

If anyone has anything that could help me I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have the stock AMG 17 inch wheels? I was thinking the same thing but instead Wil just get newer rims in 18. Funny thing though I have been searching the net and found a company that makes replica wheels of our AMG wheels in 18 inch staggered chrome and silver. They look Purdy good too. But as far as spacers I have read that you will need to measure the distance from where it sits now to where you want it to end up. Good luck and PM me some pics and specs of your.

Yep, stock amg 17's.

I think I saw the wheels you mentioned a few months ago when I was looking around. I thought about them and might keep them in my back pocket if I dont go with a wider tire rather than the spacer thing.

Next chance I get I will post a view of how much space I have with OEM wheels.

Let us know if you get those reps so I can check um out on your ride.


Thanks.

Yes, you can do this. H&R makes good ones.
