Spacers for W205 C250 coupe
Hi Jim, tried sending you an private message but somehow it just wouldn't go through. Alternatively, what's your email for me to enquire a bit more about wheel spacers for my W205 coupe? Thanks!

Yes!
Wheels are 8,5j x 20 ET 32 in front, so i placed 12mm spacers
Wheels in the rear are 10j x 20 ET45, what really is the max ET to not poke out of the wheelarches.
Tyres are Yokohama Advan Sport V105 235/35/20 and 275/30/20
This was just a test fit, so wheels are stored untill end of march. I'm thinking about lowering my KW V3 coilovers with 5 - 10mm.

Well, thankfully we have the E400/63 Estates coming - a minor consolation, but, we want the all the choices the Euros get!
I mean, c'mon, man.......at least a special order option, maybe?
What's so morally wrong with that? Charge us whatever extra! Sean and I will surely pay the price.
But again, thanks for E Estates; even the 400 is an attractive piece. Might be one in my future.

I have a set of 20'' wheels from my previous Audi and i will try to fit them in my W205...at the rear i already saw that will fit since it have the same size that you have 20x10j ET45, but for i have a square setup...so i don't believe i have interior space to fit also a 10J wheel at the front....
Since i will try to lower my W205 with the lowering links (i have Air Matic suspension) i believe i will gain some camber that will help to not rubber on the outside....

I try to install the wheels from my last car on my W205 220d but the 20x10J ET45 seems to poke out more that yours with the same width/ET...i was thinking that should be no differences between the C450 and mine at the rear but maybe i'm wrong....
Did you change the rear camber setup?

I checked the OEM ET for 19" AMG wheels in the rear, and they are identical, 8,5jx19 ET52.
Mine is lowered by a KW V3 coilover suspension, so maybe that changes camber a little bit, but not the difference what i see in your picture.
See here another picture i took. Mine do not poke at all.

Are those Vossen wheels? You can have them 10jx20 ET55, what would be perfect for your car.
A friend of mine has also Vossen wheels on his C450, and in the rear he even placed 13mm spacers, and they still don't poke out.

My wheels are OEMS CVT ones (some kind of Vossen CVT style replica)...but there is something different for sure to have such a difference on the poke...

Re lowering and excess negative camber/costly inner edge tire wear!
Do point out that for the rear we manufacture a Camber (and extra Toe) adjuster kit.
Feature is unlike “rear adjustable Camber arms” that need to move top of tire outwards (reducing all important clearance to outer fender).
Instead K-MAC kit replaces the lower (not upper) control arm inner bushes (2) and the unique patented design allows “precise single wrench adjustment” on car – accurately under load!
Comes with bush extraction tool so can be fitted on vehicle.
Also extra Toe adjustment to compensate for this new rear camber facility. Similar kit for the front also providing Camber and Caster adjustment for the 1st time (replacing the 4 front highest wearing bushings). Again single wrench adjustable with up to 3 times the adjustment range of the inaccurate/one only offset position fluted bolts.
Front bushings are 2 axis/self aligning without the OEM oil and air voids. Result is noticeably improved brake and steering response.
Front C400/C450/C43 Camber and Caster #503216K $480
Rear C400/C450/C43 Camber and extra Toe #502226K $480
Delivery $40 one kit or $50 front and rear (average delivery time is 3 to 4 days). We accept Visa, MasterCard or PayPal.
