2002 silver c32
need advice
i recently put 18" wheels on my and had to use a spacer to clear the front calipers.
now the front wheel sticks out of the well a little, while the rear is flush.
are there any issues with this setup?

offset is 35mm, which is fine for the regular c-class.
the problem with the c32 is that the front calipers are too fat.
i needed the spacer to clear the calipers. otherwise, everything would be fine and dandy.

Out Of Control!
I agree with with jl88. If you've got the correct offset you should have to use any spacers at all. Got any pics??
Thanks!
P.S. Peter might be able to shed some light into this.

Unfortunately, for the most part, even a high disk on these cars needs a spacer. Nothing you can do about it. There are only a few wheels known to bolt on to this car, and even most of those come with "adapters" like Brabus VI and Lorinser LM5. The C32 is that special case in Mercedes.
