Spacers

[chrisbala]

Hi guys you might have looked at my pics but I feel that my rear wheels are not flush with the wheel arch and am thinking about putting some spacers in.

the rear wheels are 19" x 9.5" with tyres 265/30/19. What kind of spacers do you recommend.

where can they be purchased and what prices are we talking about for fitting inclusive.

cheers guys

Forgot to mention rear offset is ET35

You should be able to measure this yourself. Measure how far you could bring the wheels out before they would touch the inner lip of the wheelarch on full suspension compression. We sell a full range of 3-20mm hubcentric spacers made by SCC in Germany - full TUV approval for all Mercedes-Benz cars. Also to note is that you'll need longer bolts and locking bolts (with hopefully the same key for front and rear).

i cant seem to find the spacers on your site - do you have a rough price and also do you sell the longer bolts?

 

[Chris Murray]

I haven't listed them all on the site yet, call me and tell me the width you need and I can explain the different options so you can decide at your leisure..

On cars with ESP it is not advisable to alter the ET by very much, otherwise the ESP will not react in the way it was designed for and can have the opposite effect and become dangerous.

thanks malcolm - im not altering the ET by that much so hopefully it should be ok

There are specific "ET-Grenze" specified by the German TUV for each car that declares a maximum spacer width.
