what are the widest spacers you guys are running?
what are the widest spacers you guys are running? i wanna see those flushed out wheelssssss. does anyone know the largest width you can go to without rubbing the fenders? or have those of you with the flush *** wheels rolled your fenders..?
i have an 03 clk 55. i just got a set of SL55 rims (18x8.5 ET30, 18x9.5 ET33) and i wanna flush them the F out. i think the widest spacer i saw was a 25mm. is that too much for the rear? right now im thinking H & R lowering springs, 10-15 (depending on how far i can go without rubbing) mm spacers in the front and 25 mm spacers in the rear.
is 25 too much..?

I'm running 20mm in the back and moving from 5mm to 12mm in front.
I had to file some extra material from the rear bumber though. I think that about the widest you can go without rolling. in the back at least.
I like the front to be more inside with the stock wheels it looks better to me.

Don't forget the spacers have to adjust with the wheels offset !
if your comparing with stock wheels then your fine...
just a head up before you buy some spacers

I was running 10mm spacers in the front and rear on ET35 wheels but changed the rears out to 5mm as there was some fender rub after lowering the car. ET30 in the rear and ET25 in the front works great and gives it a nice flushed look on my 209.

Thanks for putting the pics up! Looks great. Do you have any idea what the biggest spacer you can get for the rears.. 30mm or 40mm? without affecting anything beyond camber/tire wear?
When you go that wide in the rear do you need to put a 5 or 10 on the front to compensate for the rears being so wide?
