I have 10mm H&R on the rear, no problems. They are hubcentric spacers.
I tried 5mm H&R on the front and they vibrated like crazy. They are not hubcentric and I suspect this was the issue.
I have aftermarket wheels with a more aggressive offset than stock, however, I mounted an OEM wheel with the 10mm spacer and I would probably look to go more aggressive than 5mm with OEM wheels.

i don't want to exceed the fenders....that's why i want them 5mm...even though i think they are a bit to small. The wheels are a bit under the fender line,so i want to bring the wheels parallel to it...i'm not sure how it will be...some pics would be grate...
What does "hubcentric" mean? i can't find the meaning on the internet. Thanks!

"Hubcentric" means that the spacer centers the wheel on the hub, just as the OEM hub centers itself on the wheel. It reduces the chance of vibration.
Left spacer is hubcentric, right is not.

I know these guys aren't in Europe, but they are really great to deal with and perhaps they'd ship to you:

They carry H&R spacers for MBs. I had great results with them (multiple orders). Ask for Warren.
Also remember you need new (longer) bolts as well.
