2001 S600 Wheels on SL500

I have a 2001 SL500. I found perfect unscratched factory wheels from a 2001 s600 v12. They are Sport wheels with larger width in the rear, etc. Rear fits fine, front rubs on shock absorbers. Any known solutions or spacers to fix? Thanks.

Spacers, that's your solution.

Yes. My research has revealed the S600 wheels have a 40mm offset, the SL500 has 20mm offset. I ordered a 20mm spacer and bolts that should do the trick. They are shipping today, probably install next week. I will post how it goes.

I used 15mm spacers for the front and 20mm for the rear.
Hope you ordered the Hubcentric spacers!
