Do you have any pictures with the spacers installed?

These are 15mm front (results in et19.5) and 25mm(results in et23 - a bit too aggressive) rear. I then switched to 20mm (for offset et28) rear.
Used H&R spacers: front 15mm DR 30556659 (front only), must use 15mm longer bolts (MB ball seat 43mm shank), rear 20mm DRA 40556654 with stock bolts (or DR 4055665 spacers with 20mm longer bolts, 48-50mm, can also be used).

Thanks mate, looks nice! Any difference in handling?

Do you might have any pics from behind as well?
Any time you go wider (to a point) handling improves (in addition to obvious - the look). Not day and night difference, but marginally its there. Tires are of course the most important part of the handling envelop.

Hi mate!
I’ve installed 15mm at the front and 25mm in the rear.
But I do experience some rubbing at the inner arch when turning the wheels too much at the front. Did you get the same?

These are my winters...
I had no rubbing what so ever. Since my car was '14 pre facelift "US" car, while yours is facelift SB "non-US", maybe there are some differences causing your rubbing. It also looks to me that your car "sits" a bit lower upfront than my was.
It is because you have the same offset but different size of tire. ET19.5 only work with 245 but not 255.
With 255 you nee to use 12 mm of spacer to make the offset to ET22.5 to solve the rubbing issue. Otherwise, go with 245 if you don't mind to lost the steering repose and neutrality.
I just installed the 19" AMG wheels on my 2013 CLS550. Front ones were touching the brake calipers. 10mm H&R in the front and longer bolts did the trick. Nothing needed for the rears. Got them from https://www.ecstuning.com/ Installed 10 mm H&R
