I have staggered 19" wheels on my E500. Offset is 35MM. I want the back to be flush and I want the front to be close to flush.

It seems like 10MM will be the ticket on front and back when i eyeball it with a ruler...but has anyone ever tried it? Should I go with 8mm instead? Will the front look stupid close to flush? I know the back is desired but how about the front?

mike vee

someone please help i need to order the parts...also is there something against putting spacers on E500 compared to E320? I can find a million spacers for E320 but hardly any for E500. Aren't they the same?

Why not get a ruler and measure the distance between the fender and the wheels?

I got 10mm spacers on the front wheels of my E500 sport, just to clear the brakes.

tbone

how wide are your wheels?

mike vee

I did say I used a ruler im looking for first hand knowledge.

Front 8.5 rear 9.5 thanks!

Also still wondering why all/most companies only list spacers for the 6 cly cars??

In general, a 25mm rear offset is too aggressive for W211's. But since you're only running a 9.5, it *might* work. I still wouldn't go with a 10mm spacer on the rear though. It may poke. I run a 10.5" rear +32 and the rim sits flush with the fender. I run a stretch tire 265/30 to prevent rubbing.

You can probably run the 10mm spacer up front. I have a 9.5" +18 up front, but I run a slightly stretched tire on that rim 245/30

oh, and the spacers for 350s and 500s are the same

mike vee

Thanks a lot dude. Perhaps I will try 10s in front and 8s in back.

Why don't you go to a car shop and "test-fit" some spacers. They usually have a few different sizes in the shop somewhere. Then, to thank them, you can order the spacers through the shop.

mike vee

yea i found a place today that's willing to work with me to get it perfect. Thanks again.
