Spacers for E55
anyone selling 3mm and 10mm spacers that specifically fits my 2003 e55??
I am running on stocks at the moment. Would 10mm spacers for the rear make the back "flush" or should i go with 15mm spacers??
(Searched but no help)
any help is great. Thanks in advance

B on my Benz,
I'm not telling you to not do this. But spacers are never a good idea, they put more undue stress on the axle hub bearings then what is necessary, because the weight shifts further out on the hubs. They cause premature failure of the wheel bearings, and the inside of the rear tires will wear quicker also. Just my .02 cents.

Brabus K8 E55 05
In my car there is 16 mm for front and 20 mm for rear, Brabus recommendation to have Spacer for the wheels and I have brabus wheels too.
I had my car with one lost spacer as the guy i bought it from don't bother himself, so I found a replacement for the brabus spacer at the rear with H&R which is also good one.

I get my spacers here.

you will need longer lug bolts.
5-10mm wont do much for looks. Its mainly for solving clearance issues with your caliper on aftermarket wheels.

Yes, 3-5 mm spacers will not have a negative impact your axle hub wheel bearings. The bigger you go, definitely will though. You have my blessing, go forward and prosper. And I will be wanting my car back after your done with it. LOL
