Question about ADR M-Classics

I recently put on some 19" ADR M-Classics and I noticed that the front rims stick out a little and the rear wheels are kind of set in a little. I believe the offset on these was +39 and the tires are 235/35 all around. Anyone know if I should get some spacers on the back to bring them flush to the fender or what? I'll try and take pics later to explain what I mean in case you don't understand.

TIA.

Yeah, you can get some spacers. H&R makes nice sets of hubcentric ones.

Used to be a CLK430

I'm running 10mm in the rear - my wheels are 35mm offset.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the 5mm spacers are not hubcentric. I think the thinnest hubcentric spacers H&R makes are 10mm. I'm ordering 10mm spacers for the front of mine and 15mm for the rear. I have 19x8.5 with a 44mm offset.

Thanks Josh, I'll have to look into it.

I also was thinking 5mm would be perfect.

I wonder why yours are a different offset when we both have the same exact wheels.

I'll have to ask the guys at the tire shop about this. I think 10mm might work fine in the rear. I want to make sure that they are hubcentric. Does this mean I will need longer bolts?

Again,
Not 100% sure, but I think the stock bolts will work with a 5mm spacer. Anything longer you will definitely need longer bolts. If you get 10mm spacers get bolts taht are 10mm longer than stock..15mm spacer - 15mm longer....etc.
