Hi guys,
Thanks for the input. I do see that you can buy spacers that would correct this, if I decided to go that way. They are not cheap (of course). I have known guys who use spacers on their trucks..and I have never heard of that being a problem. It seems the dangers I have been hearing about are from people who think that spacers sound like a bad idea...me included. I cant seem to find someone who either had them, and it went bad...or they at least knew someone...and it went bad.
I did talk to one guy who makes these, and he was very clear. For Mercedes, the spacers MUST be hub centric and wheel centric. He said with most cars, hub centric is good enough...but Mercedes are touchier, and might shake if they are not wheel centric as well. I am looking to sell my wheels now
I have a complete set of original MB wheels for the car. I think they are boring IMHO.
