Nobody can possibly answer this question without knowing your current HRE offsets and I am going to guess, you don't know them as HRE doesn't give this info.

Hey I know this is late but i was wondering if you still have the spacers available? If not can you please recommend me something? I have a 2014 c300 sport AMG Package that comes with staggered rims. I wanted to get spacers on them. What do you think I should get? I have 255/35/18 in the back and 225/40/18 in the front. I want a more aggressive look so the back rims stick out more. Not a lot but something you would get from wider rims. Would that be possible? Thank you

Your car looks great. Some members say that 12mm at the rear will rub. I have the same setup with the OEM 19 multi spoke wheels and Michelin 255s. Let me know if you found rubbing issues.

I don't have pictures without the spacers... I installed the spacers the first night I got the summer wheels on!

Hey, this thread has been quite for a while but I wonder for a stock 18 inches wheel and suspension, if I choose to put 10mm spacers to front and back, what the length of the lug bolts should be?

The link above (http://otisincla.com/index.php?route...roduct_id=1083), is this all I need?
thank you.

37 mm shank length lug bolts will work fine for 10mm spacer and OEM wheels. You don't need two piece bolts if you can find a one piece set cheaper.

Thank you Mort.
2 pieces are more expensive, are they better than 1 piece bolts?

I found these:
1. one piece at http://amzn.com/B00ED4X49S. Would you mind take a quick look for me? they are 40mm, I think they need a grind to 37mm?
2. Not sure if this is 2 piece http://amzn.com/B00LV2M0TU. these are exactly 37mm, if these work then I will buy these.

Thanks Again.

2 piece bolts are not really required. Porsche seems to like them for some reason.

1. These bolts are R12 ball seat radius and not correct for our wheels. Look pretty cheap as well.

2. They look good. You can get black or silver. They are for a set of 10 bolts so you will need 2 sets.

Looking to lower my 12' P31 Sedan on H&R springs and get spacers all around.
I have the 18inch 5 spoke stock wheels. I was wondering where everyone has bought their spacers and extended lugs. Are most of you running H&R spacers as well?
I've been seeing a lot of people running 10mm in the rear & 12mm up front. Some doing 10mm all around, some doing 12mm all around. Wondering which of these options would look the best with my car on stock wheels.
Any advice helps! Thank you!

This is my setup with H&R springs on OEM 507 wheels/tires. There's no rubbing at all but I might go with 15mm in the front since there is still a little gap between the fender and tire, or I might just get beefier tires...

Thank you! And personally I always loved the beefy tires look! Are the rear wheels pretty flush with the fenders with that set up? And are you running 13 or 17mm pads with your springs?

I agree The front and rear are perfectly flush as far as height goes but as I stated before, fronts could be a tad wider in my opinion. Yes, I do have the 17mm pads. Sorry, I haven't taken any side angle shots yet.

"Ticking" issue...





I just finished up installing these ECS Tuning spacers. Loving the new look. I went with the 10mm kit for the rear and 12.5mm up front. I was racing against sunlight to finish the job and didn't take time listen to each individual wheel before I was done.

I then put the car in drive, instantly heard the noise, not loud just a noticeable ticking sound from one of my right side wheels. Do my bolts have to be shaved? Been seeing a lot of things saying it could be messing with the parking brake?

Trying to solve the problem first thing in the morning, if any has any input it would be greatly appreciated!

You'll have so shave off 2mm from the rear lug bolts. It's rubbing on the parking brake.

Thank you for the quick response! I figured that's all it was, I just didn't want to do it if I didn't have too. Appreciate it!

I put on some hubcentric 5mm spacers im the front and now im getting vibrations. I check inside the hub and it is obvious that is not sitting center, the hub is too short for the stock wheel after the 5 mm spcers installed.

anyone have experience?

^^ yes it's very common with the 5mm since it doesn't come with a lip to center the wheel on the oem hub. Our cars need at least 10mm hubcentric spacers to avoid vibrations.

This, 5mm don't have the lip and the existing lip doesn't go deep enough into the wheel to center it - 5mm spacers that work right are very hard to come by - 10mm will fix you issue if you have the room.

Thanks for the info.

Anyone noticed that the ride quality has changed? I feel like is bit harsher, like im running higher pressure tire. The bumps seems harder. Im sure the tire has not though.
i cant imagine the 5 mm spacers has this effect.
I do wonder what the overall efectvon ride quality with spacers and lighter wheels.

Spacers & longer bolts adds weight to each corners of the car so it is possible u feel a little bit of the difference. But it shouldn't be much.

I think ur main problem is the 5mm giving u this sensation, the ride must feel very unstable on every bumps right now since the wheels are not sitting properly, my advice is remove the spacers ASAP & ride w/o them til u get 10mm.

I ran 12mm front with my oem wheels & 40mm longer bolts no problem with rubbing even lowered on H&R springs.. Good luck!
