The spacers that I got for Luis are 17mm with longer bolts. I was just telling Luis that they have a 20mm spacer that bolts onto the hub and then you can use the factory lug bolts to mount the wheels to the spacers and I think that is a much better option for a bunch of reasons.
1) I would rather use a shorter lug bolt than a longer one any day of the week.
2) If you go to the track and are missing longer lug bolts, good luck finding someone who has some you can use, if you need stock length lug bolts you will always have yours and if you need to find some they will be much easier to find.
3) When you drill these rims for the 14mm lug hole you may be slightly off with the hole and the lug bolts can get harder to install, the longer it is, the harder it is.
Maybe Luis can measure and make sure that an extra 3mm will fit fine, I don't have a vehicle here that I can use to measure with the drag set up on it right now. 3mm is very minimal and if it works I think that would be the way to go.
Pricing for that set up would be $149.00 for the pair but you would not need to spend any extra money on longer lug bolts which can cost anywhere between $3.0-$10.00 each and you would need 10 of them.
I have a large inventory of H&R spacers in stock for Mercedes and if I am currently out of something I will have it drop shipped to you directly from H&R. Hopefully I can help you and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

I'm placing another stocking order with H&R today so I am going to add a few of the 20mm bolt on spacers to my order. If you are on the East coast we can ship it from our facility in New York and if you are on the West coast I will ship it from there so everyone can get there orders quickly.

I know my drags sir, these are for test and tune on the street. When I hit the track, I will run Hoosiers or very possibly bias ply slicks

RPM Racing did my spacers and bolts.. great deal and great customer service.
My questions is: How the F are you guys running 16's with the rear caliper in place. My 17's clear by a hair.. A real hair. I would guess I have a few 100th clearance- It dont rub though. I need to mark my tires to see if they are slipping. I had forgotten to do that...
Good luck!! Fall will be fun!!
