Hello I'm trying to put 10mm wheels spacers on the FRONT for my 4MATIC. Well, I've tried using these FLAT 10mm wheel spacers. But as far as safety, it doesn't look to good due to not enough hub for the my wheels to sit on.
I've also tried these CAPPED 10mm wheel spacers and they fit right in. However, my wheels don't go all the way in due to my center cap not deep enough to accommodate the capped.

My question is that do you guys think that a regular 10mm HUBCENTRIC wheel spacers would work on mine for the front? Btw, mine is 4matic. Thank you.

Capped front spacers are required for width of 10mm or above. Stock wheels should clear these spacers. If they do not or aftermarket wheels are used, then a bit more conservative path is required - 5mm flat spacers.

this is what you're looking for.

No, this will not fit front of an MB with dust cap. Pictured spacers are for rear or for both (front and rear) for models without front dust cap. All W212 have front dust caps, hence these will never fit upfront.

Dust caps are smaller than the spacer hole.
From my research you can use up to 3 mm flat spacers, when still using hub rim for wheel centering, or those that Jabberwock linked have to be much thicker and I could not find them thinner than 12 mm.

Well, based on the picture above.. it looks like 12mm wheel spacers with HUBCENTRIC would fit perfect since the dust cap is a little smaller than the actual hub.

@Jabberwock you're absolutely correct, thanks bro! I installed a 12mm wheel spacers with hubcentric and it fits in perfect. I drove my car up to 80mph and there's no any vibration. I'm currently running (FRONT) 19x8.5 +23 on 245/35r19, my front wheels sticks out about 2-3mm but no rubbing so far. Once again, thanks for the input!!!
