Please help: What size hubcentric spacers for my oem wheels w203 can I get?
Don't feel like my rims stick out far enough. Would like to have them sit out as far as possible without rubbing but I don't know how big of spacers I can buy? Please Help
I'm thinking 15mm in the front and 20mm in the rear. Is this realistic?
Found these on ebay. They have the front spacers listed different than the rears. Is there a difference?

Rears:

They're both $73 + 14.99 shipping with no returns. Would definitely like to get this right before I'm out of pocket $175.98!!!
Also, the listing says to list whether I want tapered or round bolts. ??? Which ones do I need?
Thank you in advance,
bee
see what i'm talking about?

Yeah definetly do. I have 18x9.5 on my rears with 12mm spacers and 18x8.5 on the front with 10mm spacers. Weird thing is the front spacers are hubcentric and the rear are not
My offset I believe is 32
I don't know too mujch about tims but I think it depends on your offset and then you should figure out what size spacers you want to get from there. Hope this helps

You need the ball-seat lugs, FYI. I can't help you much on size, but I don't think you'll have too much trouble with 5mm in the front and 10mm in the rear, that's conservative, though. I will, however, recommend allsprings.com

how do i find out what my offset is?
5mm in the front and 10mm in the back. is this a guesstimate? i wanna go as much as possible. 5mm just seems so little. its only like |_| much, NO?

Check the Brand and Type of your wheels - then you can browse the manufacturers website.
Sometimes the offset is poured in the inner side of the wheel.
At least you can measure it:

This is an estimate, but it's also to my taste. I don't know if I'd go above 10mm and 15mm, though. I like the face of the wheel to be about even with the edge of the fender, I don't like when then stick out at all. I'm not sure what look you're going for, though. Those are the stock rims, no? To be flush with the end of the fender, I'd only use the 5 and 10mm (front and back), but 10 and 15 should be safe.
