If you need them I should have every option in stock. Those sizes will all be HubCentric as well so you wont have any vibration whatsoever with that set up.
Let me know if you need any help or pricing. It's amazing how much better the car looks with an aggressive stance.

I would recommend at least 10mm and as high as 15mm depending on how aggressive you want to be.

Measure
twice,install once.
You will need custom lugs. Be sure to leave enough clearance up front for curb turning and speed bumps.
What offfsets and tires size are you running?
Is the car lowered?

i'm not so quick to pronounce that spacers are needed, or desirable. generally,
the AMG monoblocs are like ET31 in front and ET 35 in rear. rear usually does
not produce any rubbing problems. however, the front combination of offset,
wheel width (guessing 8.5") and 235 tire cross section are already pushing the
limits of allowable ET. should you push it out even more, e.g. 10 or 15mm, you
are courting wheel arch/lip rub on the outside tread of the tire. on straight and
smooth pavement, rubbing and scoring may not occur. but once you are in
turns, or induce serious pavement undulations, contact is likely. proceed
carefully, I opine.
