Awesome thanks for the reply, i just tried giving you a ring...I'm definitely interested, need to know what size i need so to not over extend to cause rubbing. What year, make & model did you have these spacers on?

I'm running concentric spacers on my 04 clk55 no issues. One-note..... the front spacers did vibrate a bit, but I sanded them down and swapped sides until vibe's gone.

Some people never them the vib out with spacers.... some it is OK.

GL.

I agree 20mm is about as high as I would go, no matter how well they are built!
