Hey guys, Happy holidays to you all.

New to the Mercedes world and it’s definitely a big difference from all the vehicles I’ve owned!
Was wondering as to if I can get some help in regards to Wheel fitment and I’m having some issues.
Lowered the car on some Silvers Coil overs
wheels are 18x8 +35 all around tires are 225/45/18’s
The ride is super smooth besides the Huge ring on the inside of the tire I have from the Adjuster sleeve rubbing on the tire.
anybody know a good tire size To resolve this issue or Spacer size ?
very much appreciated.
I would buy a spacer the thickness you need, to push the tire and wheel outward.
Only you can measure the thickness you need I would only go out a tiny bit just enough to relieve your rubbing.
If you are rubbing a 1/4" groove into the tire, then move out at least a 1/4" I wouldn't go past a 1/2" unless you buy longer lug bolts.
Measure the thickness you think you might need then order a spacer that thickness, you buy a spacer like buying a wheel you need to know the thickness and the bolt circle that is all that is to it.
EXAMPLE (If I was going to move the wheels outward a 1/4" on my SLK, I would order a 1/4" spacer with 5 on 112.mm bolt pattern)

This is all good info. I would add, you need to make sure the spacers are hubcentric.
