SL55 Hub Size - Front and Rear?
Hey all!
Trying to order some spacers for the car but everyone I talk to says they only have spacers that will fit the rear only. Obviously this means the front hub bore is different than the rear, which I believe is 66.56?
I tried searching on here to no avail. Does anyone know the specific sizes? Thanks!

you have to get spacers that say hub centric. The fronts may have flanges, but it depends on how thick you are getting. The front hub is so long it may not need another flange.
The rears have to have a flange because the rear hub is only about 1/4" from the start.
So decide how thick first, then look at them and see if the have flanges. Look on ebay they have all of them

I think 66.5 is correct, if it is specified on ebay that it is for sl55 and it should say 66.5. You have to look at the pictures. If it has a flange it is for the rear. No flange, not for rear.
For the front they do not have to have a flange, then are camphered on the inner edge to fit stock hubs. Only the h&r have a whole hub that fits over the stock hub and provides the new flange.
what size are you trying to buy

Clearly there is some confusion, perhaps I didn't express my side well enough. They say they fit the SL55 on that auction (261340396901) as well as MANY other auctions, but when I contact them, they say they don't actually fit - only the rear.

I dont understand about that. Look up H&R front wheel spacers, They are made for the car, and look up sl55 front wheel spacer, theres plenty of them. Youve got to understand, these shops are not necessarily MB SL55 experts, I can tell they look right. I would buy them.

The front on my 2009 sl63 is 66 I'm pretty certain. I just purchased wheels and the was what I purchased. I did need spacers for the wheels to fit (front only) as well but only 5mm. Don't know what the make is, my indy supplied them, but they look pretty generic.
