19x8.5 wheels.....what size spacer???

Hey guys I'm buying a set of 19x8.5 BBS challenge wheels for my 99 clk-430. The offset is 35 all around, so I was going to run a spacer in the rear to get a nice flush look, does anyone know what size I'd need or who sells them the cheapest? (oh yeah current tires on the rims are 235/35)

Thanks
Jeremy

Congrats... I saw those wheels on our classifieds section...

if you want a flush look, i think a 10-12mm spacer should be good. just make sure they are hubcentric spacers...

15 or 20mm is a little too extreme

Used to be a CLK430
I'm running a 12mm, but a 15mm would be ideal. Good luck, let's see the pics!!

I would also say 12mm-15mm. Make sure you purchase a H&R spacer (so it is hubcentric), and buy at least a 10mm spacer in order to have a hubcentric lip built into it. There isn't much room on the stock hub, so with some wheels & a 5mm spacer, no hub is left over for the wheel to rest on.

ok sounds good everyone.......so who has 15mm H&R Hubcentric spacers? I had a link to a site but my computer has crashed since then and I've lost the link. The cheaper the better!

Thanks

So can you have a 5mm sapcer with hub centric ring as one piece?
cause you mention about at least a 10mm spacer in order to have the hubcentric lip built into it.

thanks
