Spacers on CLS63 2012 help?????????
Hi everyone, i was wondering if anyone can help.
I recently bought H & R spacers 10mm at the front and 15mm at the rear, but i am not happy with the look, i have the standard wheels on it not the forged ones.
I want to know if anyone has tried 20mm at the front and 25mm at the rear becase that is what i am thinking of and if anyone has pictures i would really appreciate if they put them up.
I dont really know much but maybe 20mm at the front and 25mm at the rear isnt possible but what do i know! i know there are alot of talented people on here that know alot about cars please a little help would be great.

What are the stock offsets? In my PM to you I said that 25mm spacers will not work right in the rear.
The forged offsets are 37 and 47 for stocks so you could run a 12mm up front and maybe a 12 or 13mm in the rear; but these are for forged 19's.
Check your manual for your offsets.

Ok since no one else did, I pulled the manual and we need to know what size wheels you have. Here are the non forged options per the manual (basically these are all the wheels listed besides the 19x9 et 37 and 19x10 et 47 forged)
18x8.5 et 34.5
18x.9.5 et 48
19x8.5 et 34.5
19x9.5 et 48
19x9 et 37
19x9.5 et 52
So which is it??
The lowest you should go on the fronts (lowered or not) is around et 25 and the rear would around et 33. So IMHO your 20mm front spacer will NOT work on any of the above and your rear 20mm will NOT work either. I ran an et 33 for a short period of time and the wheel was right on the fender with zero clearance but no rubbing (rear). I run/ran an et 25 and its about perfect to clear turning radius in the front. Remember that I am lowered so you may be able to push the wheels out further but that would like plain silly.
Hope this helps.
