Exclamation CLS550 Wheel spacer question

Hello everyone I am new to MBworld. Recently purchased a 2012 CLS550. Installing Vertini Fairlady wheels 19x8.5 front rims 19x9.5 rear rims. 35 mm offset on all 4 wheels. Had to purchase a 15mm spacer for the front to clear the caliper. Any info and opinions would be greatly appreciated, as far as safety and durability.

Only MBs - the best or nothing
Spacers, when hubcentric and by a reputable manufacturer, are perfectly safe (of course must be used with longer that currently installed/provided bolts by the width of spacers).

RRS Supercharged and CLS550 (W218)
A set of spacers from a reputable manufacturer will probably be safer to roll on then your Vertini wheels .

I went with a company called Motorsport Tech. They are in the US and I was very happy with them. Plus, I believe they were cheaper and better quality than H&R.
