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."

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

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.

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.

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

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)?
