Wheel spacers on your x166?

Anyone here running wheel spacers? I have a 2015 GL450 with 20" OEMs but would like a more aggressive stance. Two problems: 1. I can't seem to find anyone who makes them for the x166 (besides this Chinese manufacturer); and 2. I feel like my GL already sits with a pretty noticeable negative camber (it was recently aligned by MB dealership), don't want to contribute to excessive tire wear.

Thanks!

Check out Akata spacers on Ebay. They are hub centric for your application and they work well. I put a set on 2015 GL450. If you go wider than 5mm, it's recommended to use longer lug bolts.

do you have these on front and rear? More importantly, how is the GL after the repair? Have you done any other mods?

front and rear.

GL is repaired and have done a few mods and need to update the thread. I will soon as I keep meaning to but life keeps me from doing such. Does seem to ride a little odd over uneven payment that we don’t recall but after 208 days without it how would I recall what it was like before?!!
