Wheel spacers for my new S63 Cab

Hi Folks - has anyone put spacers on their S63 Cab or Coupe? If so do you have size and brand recommendations? I have had them on previous cars and would like to add to this car. BTW - this car is awesome.
Thanks Much,
RJJM

I have the MY17 S63 sedan and am going to order 10" front and 12" rear H&R spacers. Will sit flush with fender and lower a bit.

Has anyone tried the MEC ones? They seem to be made specifically for the S63 Coupe:

Ive used spacers on many cars. You can buy cheaper ones on ebay. They are all about the same, just different cost. You have to have hub centric with flanges.

I have H&R hubs on my 2017 s63 cabriolet

I used 15mm both front and back on each side which looks awesome and well balanced on 20 “ OEM rims.
I am still a bit concerned that while the hub centric nicely into the wheel rim, there is a slight looseness on the lip on the axel hub.
I don’t believe yet, that this is acceptable and I’m not sure if I can feel it while driving, the roads are never smooth enough at the right speeds. I may temporarily use pvc tape to rap the hub centre to see if I can feel an improvement. If anyone has any ideas or alternatives to H&R since they don’t list a S63, I used the ones they sell for a C63.

Excuse my ignorance but why spacers will lower a bit your car. Thanks

ECS Tuning has them listed for the S63. I just ordered the 15mm for the front and 10mm for the rear with the H&R Bolts (14x1.5 - 60mm for front and 55mm for rear). Will see how they work when they come.

I did get the spacers and no they do not have any play on the hub. I do have a bit of a noise when braking at highway speed so I removed them temporarily. The noise is still there (but less noticeable) with the spacers off - so I believe it’s just amplifying maybe the wheels needing to be rebalanced. I don’t think the noise is the spacers. But as far as the ECS spacers go they appear to be good quality. I have ECS spacers on my 911 and they are perfect on that car.

Thanks daviper! Do you happen to have the ECS part numbers by any chance?
Are yours black or silver?
I searched their site and couldn't match a pair to a MY 2017 S63 Cabriolet

with H&R 55mm Extended Bolts - ECS Part # ES#1303149 or H&R Part # 1455502

Sorry, but my S63 is lowered in the EBay lowering module before the spacer was added.
