Which spacer to use
I finally lowered my CLK 55 using H&R springs, spring pad # 2 in the front, and spring pad #1 at the back. I'm still using the 17' monoblock stock rims but the tyres are 235/45/ in the front and 255/40 at the back. The ride didn't change a lot. My questions are:
1. I was wondering which spacer, 10mm or the 15 mm, will look perfect at the rears? I know both will fit but concerned on the looks. I don't want the tyres sticking out much.
2. Also what size of bolts should I use?
3. Do I need to put a spacer also in the front, 5 mm?
Thanks for all your help. This board has been very informative.

Which spacer to use
Burat,
I Want To Also Install HR Spring On My Beast Also - Currently I Have 18" Wheels With 215/35/18 rear and 225/40/18 fronts S03 Which are awesome. I inquired about spacers prior to ordering the wheels and a performance shop where I live talked me out of them. Plus with the current width not It's enough for me. can you post a picture of your 55 ?
