Make sure the spacers are hubcentric.
If I read correctly your offset is 62. Mine are 34. Switching will be equivalent to a 28mm spacer. Will that be enough for clearance?

When I spoke to this guy who has been making spacers for some 20 years...he tells me that with Mercedes, hub centric is not enough. You have to have them both hub centric AND wheel centric. He said if you dont wheel centric, you will often get vibration. He said the only way to make sure they are perfect is to have hub and wheel centric.

I have already started my search for new wheels, and so far, nothing is grabbing me. Or worse...I like them but they cost well over a 1000 a set

Sorry, I am just not THAT into new wheels

What a mess. Another issue...I have already installed 205s on these wheels. That will probably make them harder to sell with the tires...and another loss if I have to remove the tires. Problems problems.

Saint, take this as a lesson-learned. Forget about spacers and the inherent problems they will create, and buy a set of MB wheels with the proper offset that will fit your car.
