Unlike most members I love the stock wheels on my beast. I've been wanting to bring out the wheels a little with spacers, but unfortunately I don't know enough about the fit to make a decision on what size I can get away with without rubbing. I have stock wheels/tires size on and want them to align with the fenders as much as possible without rubbing.

Has anyone ever done this with stock wheels? Any advice/pics would be greatly appreciated.

Hey I just read your PM sorry I didn't get a chance to respond but I guess I'll post here with the info so others know as well. Here's in info on my setup:

- stocks wheels with 255/35/18 front 265/35/18 rear
- 13mm spacers from RPM (they are a vendor on this forum)
- 13mm extended lug bolts.

I would not go any bigger on the spacers unless you plan on doing fender work as the clearence is minimal and the wheels sit really flush up against the fender. as for the front, since I am not selling the beast anymore Ill be ordering a set of 13mm spacers for the front again. the set that was initally sent to me from RPM had fitment issues up front but they took care of that right away.

Its a great mod if you want the flush look w/o spending thousand on a new set of wheels/tires. now CLS500 wheels will also have the same effect as they look the same, but are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 with a lower offset.

you could also do what shardul did and run cls500 sport package amg wheels. Same design but better offset.

Exactly they are flush with the body panels.

yup after seeing your car that's exactly what I wanted to do, but I couldn't find a set for sale so I went with the spacers

So with the CLS wheels I wouldn't need spacers and they'll flush with the fenders? If thats the case, I would way rather do that than get spacers. I cringe at the thought of spacers because I've had a bad experience with them on my previous beast. Thanks guys

yes. you can buy my wheels they are off my car

AMG_RL

how much are you selling them for

ive done numerous burnouts, 1/4mile drags, moutain roads, etc on the spacers i have on now with absolutely no issues so far. Very pleased with them until I can afford (I.E. GF approved ) a decent set of wheels.
