so i bought spacers. 12mm 5x112 correct center bore. everything. but they dont fit.... so what gives?

dynomite05

Front or rear? They are probably not hubcentric.

How do you know the bore center is correct? You listed the "5x112" is the bolts pattern which is the same as Audi (I'm not too sure on the Audi bolt pattern). The bore center on Mercedes is 66.5. Btw, if you trying to fit that spacer on the front, it won't work. Front spacer are special with a cup like looking spacer.

"12mm wheel spacers for Mercedes-Benz. These spacers are bolt pattern 5/112 with a 66.56mm center bore.
They are built in the USA out of Alcoa 6061t6 billet aluminum. We build them hub AND wheel centric, to create a perfect tight snug fit, ensuring a beautiful, perfect ride."


thats from the website. it was from radusa. i guess i needa change up the fronts. i'll put them on the back in the morning with more light.

If you are using them for the front and they don't have a cap on them then they won't fit.

If they advertised that they were a fit, I'd send them sh**s back and get some correct spacers.

chrislis

not fitting how? this is pretty vague.

Mka77

I agree. Are they not fitting the wheel? The Hub? Fronts? Backs?

My spacers when I ran them on the rears were a little snug fitting into the wheel bore, but fit with a tap.

Is your hubs all corroded up not allowing them to seat? Just trying to help out.

bheng

they dont fit the fronts. im going to try the rears in a bit.

only h&r have the ones with a cup right?

dynomite05

I believe there are some aftermarket ones, but I can't recall. H&R would be your safest bet.

bheng

well i guess im going to see if the rears fit, if so, i will only be returning one set and keeping the rears

Mka77

Let us know.

bheng

LOL rears fit perfectly! haha now i am calling radusa to return 10 bolts and spacers. i hope shipping wont be too expensive...

and i gotta call an h&R distributor to get me some fronts

dynomite05

Try RPMNorth, they are a sponsor on the site.

Are you ever going to post up some pics of this beast you've been working on Dr. Frankenstein? I'm curious to see how it is progressing.

bheng

lol! so spacers came in today. and they truly are different.

i'll post pics of the difference in spacers later.

and i will finally post pics of the car after i clean it up with the new stuff i bought from autogeek. whenever that comes in. cant be taking pics of a dirty car!

Mka77

Did you get them on?

bheng

yup. now im wishing i went wider in the rear. doesnt seem as flush as the front. but man. i think this is by far, the best looking mod for my car other than lowering. so now its not too low, but also wide =D lol

haha i feel like a kid that just got an abundant amount of presents

Mka77

Glad it all came together for you.

Black_CLK

where are the pics!?!? haha Im curious

chrislis

wut?

Mka77

wub?

Klinh

There has been countless post about the front spacer and pics on this forum, not sure where has you been?

2MCHCAR

In conclusion, you installed 12mm spacers front and back?
But you think you can wider in the rear?
What size wheels are you running (Front/Rear; Rim diameter/width/ET)?

dynomite05

Looking forward to some pics.
