Hi guys, bought some AMG split style wheels for my car this week, gone to try them and they don't quite fit because of the AMG brakes, so i need some spacers.

Been reading a few different things about what ones i need, do i need this style? with the extended spigot.

MERCEDES CLK FRONT ALLOY WHEEL SPACERS 15mm with EXTENDED SPIGOT | eBay

or would just standard ones do the job, like so?

Mercedes Hubcentric 5 hole 15mm wheel spacer kit, Bolts E Class | eBay

Read a few things but getting different answers :doh:

Thanks!
 
Either will do you fine, but the bolts may not fit on the first link and will definitely not fit on the second kit.

More info needed. What wheels are they? Offset?

Okay thanks, what spec bolts would i need? Ive had spacers on all my other cars mainly VW and MINI but first time with Mercedes :cool:

They are 18s and 8J ET 35 where as my current ones are 17s and 7.5j ET37, not much difference when you work it out, but i think the actual thickness of the spokes are bigger on the new wheels so they are rubbing on the callipers.

Brakes are 330mm AMG C32s (I think) car is a 320 so guess it would have big ones anyone but was told they are C32s when i bought it.
 
First of all you need M12 thread bolts.

Then you have to consider the seat in the wheel.
Have you got any existing bolts with the new wheels?

I presume from the size they are not genuine MB and will likely have a conical seat.
 
Tom, what size spacers did yo use after. I've also got a 320 with the 4pot brakes and my spare wheels I was intending to use as winter wheels are 18x8j et35. These currently wont fit the front as they foul the calipers. Thanks huw
