I got my new wheels 19"

my problem is the rear fitment...

265/30/19 19x9.5 ET35

my rear brakes are 4 pistons AMG = my new wheels hit my rear calipers

My question is: Did anyone tried 10MM spacer and drive with a Offset of ET25?
I know the standard is a ET30 but is ET25 acceptable?

I run 15mm on mine. I have heard them rub a couple of times on the highway going through those rolling dip downs at 65 -70. My wheels and tire sizes are the same as your post. Next spring I am going with 10mm instead on the rear. 10mm will be perfect. M

You should be ok. I will be installing my 10mm rears soon.

Info for the CLK owners:

I have installed the 10mm H&R spacers with the little lip.
with my 265/30/19 19x9.5 ET35 Rear wheels
soo I have a ET25 now and the wheels are at the right spot

lol, I was literally about 2 minutes from updating this thread. Finally installed my 10mm in the rear and am also on a ET25 all around with no problems....

Wes, the wheels I've ordered are ET35 all around so I guess by the sounds of it I'll be going with spacers as well. Two questions;

1. Are you happy with the all around stance (are all 4 corners flush) or would a 10mm rear and 5mm front spacer equal out the flush?

2. Did you order extended (+10mm) wheel lugs from H&R or did you go with another brand/local?

Thanks!

I'm happy with how it came out. I went with 10mm to make sure I cleared the BBK, and because anything less than that isn't hubcentric.


Yea I had to get extended lugs. I have an extra set for sale that works with the 10mm spacer if you're interested. Ohh I bought them from the same person as the spacers. They say that H&R spacers come with the lugs but I was pressed for time and couldn't find anyone that sells them together.

To finish all the info on spacers...

If you have like me on the rear a ET35 wheel + 10mm spacer = ET25
then you need longer bolts (I now clear my 4 piston AMG brake):

You need:
Conical Lug Bolt 12mm x 1.50 RH Height: 65mm, Thread Length:
40mm, Hex: 17mm

Front:
And I have a ET30 on the front with no spacers with 225/35/19
(225 because I'm really dropped with PSS9) and I clear my 6 piston AMG brake

Front bolt:
Conical Lug Bolt 12mm x 1.50 RH Height: 54mm, Thread Length:
27mm, Hex: 17mm


Hope all the info is here for you next guys soo you have no trial and error
like I did

dynomite05

Good info! My wheels actually needed the ball lugs. It's nice the you have ET30 in the front, mine is ET35 and I had to use a spacer to clear my brakes. Now that I'm on the PSS9's and 235 tire I am rubbing the front plastic fender liner on some turns. I will probably be switching to 225's next time around.

Kevwood

Thats great info, thanks bro!

Kevwood

Good call on the 10mm being hubcentric, I didn't notice that whjen I was reading info on the H&R site. I guess to start off with I'll get some 10mm spacers for the rear and just run the wheels as is (ET35) on the front and see how it looks.

In regards to the lugs, I'm going to try and track down a set of chrome lugs to go along with the black wheels but thanks for the offer. If I can't find anything, I'll shoot you a PM.

What color are the lugs for sale Wes?...

dynomite05

They sold already. Sorry.

I am running ET 35 rear with 10mm spacer(H&R hubcentric) so 35et with 275 rear tire no problems
