2006 SL65 Wheel Spacers

Has anyone installed spacers with the OE wheels? If so, what size and pictures would be great.

I bought 25mm spacers on the rear of my stock AMG 18" staggered wheels as I also thought they looked too far in, I like the wheels to be flush with the body work. I then added 2 x 5mm spacers to the front as well. Later I bought some 19" and lowered the car by 30mm I used the same spacers and very pleased with the look.

So you put 25mm on the rear 5mm on the front, not 2 5mm on each front wheel
