Hi, is it wise to spacers with wheels?
If it is the latter then check the profile of the mating face of the wheel bolts as MB have a curved profile and some aftermarket wheels have a tapered profile so new wheel bolts may be required.

And there are two sizes (technically 3).Curved are called "Radius Head" bolts
And there are two sizes (technically 3).
M12 with 12mm radius.
M14 with 14mm radius.
M12 with 14mm radius (specialist aftermarket).
It's important the radius matches the wheel.
You cannot fit 12mm radius wheels to a car that use M14 bolts.
Also if this is for appearance be aware there will be increased power on wheelbearings and suspension joints and if fitted to the front will change the scrub radius which can impact behaviour under braking and on bumps.
Different wheels.I ran spaced wheels on my CLS with no issues , i fitted them to achieve the correct offset with the aftermarket rims.
Is it to alter the look of the car or to fit different wheels ?

I done't know yet,
Have to get some tyres on the rims and take it to my local indy, and he will tell me what i need.
Many thanks.
The et will be printed on the wheels. Have a look we can do the rest.I done't know yet,
