if not, who does?

why do you need spacers? I would advice you not to put spacers cuz you will feel a slight vibration on your wheel. I know you can buy H&R spacers but I wouldnt do it. just buy rims that wont need spacers.

too late, I already bought the wheels and I am running NON-hubcentric spacers. There is vibration and that is why I want to run hubcentric spacers. Hubcentric spacers eliminate vibration

what wheels are you running on the vehicle. if you can find out what size center bore the new aftermarket wheels have i may be able to source hub centric spacers.

ocbenz,

they are a knock off wheel, but well made. I will get you the specs tomorrow.

I really appreciate the help.

same problem

car: 2002 C32

i too have this problem with vibration using non-hubcentric (10mm) spacers. so i purchased some 10mm hubcentric spacers from eurotechwheels.com from ebay.

my new problem is the new hubcentric spacers that i received from eurotechwheels doesn't fit around the hub itself.

according to eurotechwheels, the hubcentric spacer should fit exactly around the hub and that the fit should be very tight.

so my next question is: is the diameter of the hub of a c32 amg larger than a reg factory mercedes benz hub?

i'm taking the car to discount tire today after work to see what they can do, but has anyone else ever have the same problem?

any input is greatly appreciated.

pinoyboy,

10mm might be too much and cause even more vibration.

I have front and rear 5mm spacers that are hub centric and wheel centric....custom made for the C32 hub.

Let me know if you are interested in buying them.

I'm using 25mm H&R spacers at the rear on my SLK with no problems at all.
I am planning to use 15mm spacers at the front when shifting to the summer wheels. The 15mm H&R spacers does not fit my winter wheels so I have to wait for the spring. Of course I could have used rims with other offset but the wheels are from my previous car, a W203 C180 so a set of spacers was cheaper.
