Spacers
Got my H&R spacers installed yesterday and added mud flaps to keep road debris from kicking more than usual. Looks great, will try to get some pics posted shortly for those interested in pushing their wheels out slightly. I really think the GLC43 looks a little
off with the factory wheel inset.

I've been thinking of doing this too. Did you do front and rear? What size?
Please do post pics!

3055665SW - 15MM
4055665SW -20MM
The SW at end of each number designates black anodize finish, I believe silver has just the base number (w/o SW)
You will also need to get (10) ea. of 60MM and 65MM Mercedes Ball Seat Lugbolts for the wider spacers to maintain the thread engagement into the hub (45MM + spacer thickness...)
H&R 1456002 - 14MM x 1.5 x 60MM Length
H&R 1456502 - 14MM x 1.5 x 65MM Length
Hope this helps, I ended up renting a spacer kit in order to confirm wheel bolt pattern, lug size, etc. It was a pretty cool way to go because it also allowed me to build up various thicknesses in order to determine my preferred stance. Looks stock, not sure why the factory did not do this other than standard axle vs. slightly wider GLC body perhaps?

I just saw the pin stripe, haven't seen a traditional one done like that forever.
Could you take a pic from center rear and also from the rear parallel with the rim?
I'm planning to get a different wheel for summer and want to get an idea of how much more width can be added without sticking out to far.

Looks good, would also like the pictures that scotchy requested. I'm assuming you torqued the wheels after installation. Do you have the info on that? i cant find much.

yes, torqued to factory specs, I can’t remember if that was on gas door or in the owners manual. Will get pics up at next wash!
