have a question..for all those with wheel spacers..esp with 20mm+, won't such a thick spacer push the wheel so far out it won't be resting on the wheel spindle (or whatever u call that thing in the middle of the hub the wheel rests on)?

 

your assumption about the wheel not resting on the center hub is a major reason spacers are not recommended by many .... including me

 

If you get a quality hubcentric, TUV approved spacer, you won't have any problems

 

ok...so that's for hub centric wheels...

what about some where they are bolt centric...would that matter then?

 

Every mercedes IS hub-centric.

Using a spacer like the H&R will have NO detrimental effects as they are HUBCENTRIC - JUST LIKE YOUR CAR!

In fact, you will get a perfromance advantage as you will be increasing your track and that gives the axle more grip!

Thanks

ic, but my volvo is bolt-centric...
