Im looking to fit wheel spacers on my W211 just to give the car a better stance, does any1 know how wide you can go without any rubbings? i have 17" Rucha wheels fitted with 245/45/17.

TIA

I would think twice with the way that springs can snap, if you must go ahead 5 to 10mm max and they must be hub centric spacers

Not so much, just the odd one, you can measure the clearance from the inside of the wheel arch to the tyre sidewall
