2014 E550 W212 Spacers (2023)
Hey folks, was hoping someone might know what size spacers would work best with my setup. I've researched this ad nauseum and cant seem to find anyone who did this with the same size wheels as me (18", OEM AMG wheels). I believe that 10mm front and 15mm rear is the "safe" route but was wondering if 15mm front and 20mm rear would also work? I want the most aggressive stance possible with ZERO impact to safety/reliability. As an aside, I'm toying with doing my suspension in the future as I'm at 100K miles. Would probably just be a Bilstein setup but if the right deal came across, maybe something more custom. As it is now, the car is plenty low so I don't see lowering as a necessity. Pic for reference is below!
So with mine i did a 15mm rear and the minimum you can go on the front to use a true hub centric spacer is 12mm. Ill post a photo and the seller on eBay where I got mine. they were awesome to deal with and actually reached out to me regarding the 12mm front. I had ordered 10mm and they wanted to make sure i knew that if i went with 10mm it wouldn't be a hub centric due to the length of the hub collar on the front of 4matic W212 cars.
with 15mm front and 20mm rear they are going to be out a bit past the fenders. mine is very flush with AMG 18" wheels.
I got a square 15mm setup for my coupe.... let's see if it turns out to be an awful move
I'm sure it will look good ! its only 3mm out, however the coupe is a bit different than the sedan. the coupe is based on the W204 chassis in the C class sedan, so I'm not sure on the geometry of the front end.
