spacers on repro wheels

Hi Folks, I have 19" AMG repro wheels on my S550 4 Matic. I did not do offset wheels as I want to be able to rotate the tires. fronts look perfect but the rears could come out a bit still as they are still about 1" in from the edge of the fender. Would a spacer work for the rears. If so, any suggestions on a brand, also , I assume I would need longer lug nuts. They are 19" with a 35 degree offset now.

Check H&R trak spacers. Application chart shows for which cars they work and most come with the appropriate lugs needed.

On the 35mm, 12 mm spacers would put the rears flush with the fender. That puts you at net 24mm, which is what I run. 15mm would probably work as well, not much in 3mm. 10mm would be your best option.
