Lorinser LM5's on C32

I may get 19, 8.5, and 19, 9.5 front and rear respectively for my C32. They were originally on a 00' CLK. Will I need to know the "offset" setting?

Please help..

thanks

You need spacers for the LM5 on a C32, the front calipers wont clear.

If you dont get hubcentric spacers than yes it will. It will cause an annoying shake after 50mph. Also your thread w/the HREvsLorinsers is closed...Go w/HRE's if budget isn't an issue. Too many Lorinser and Lorinser replicas out there. Be different as you got a C32.

What spacers do is it moves the wheel out giving your calipers,suspension etc more room to clear the wheels so they dont hit each other... basically it pushes the offset of the wheels out...

enri007 is correct... if you dont get spacers that are hubcentric, then you may experience vibration on highway speeds...
