Found 10mm spacers for W123

No affiliation. I currently have non hub centric spacers... This will do wonders...

Please let us know your experiances with them, Spacers do open up a huge range of tire options for the older mb.

I am already running 8mm spacers 39mm shank bolts. The spacers are not hub centric however and getting the alignment on the rear is impossible as the hub doesnt stick out far enough. I am running some wheels from a 320 on my W123 and the handling is superb, the 195s and 88hp == superb traction control I can do the hairpin cloverleafs at about 50-60mph now. I highly recommend the upgrade, just dont for get to take a baseball bat to roll those fenders. My tires got eaten up pretty well.

[edit] I just bought a set of 4 of these. I'll update this post with more info when they come in. Im just tired of 2 hrs tire rotations (getting the rears to line up is a huge PITA and its never "perfect".

I got them in today! They look well made. Certainly alot better than what I have on there now... Of course it was 5x the price.... I'll report later on these. I am going to put them on the new benz and swap stock alloys with the old one.

LOL no pics off hand they are 5 spokers from C320.

Bad news about the hubs. They are .1" so small on the hub itself. I will have to wait and see if they have the correct size. To bad I had to find out after taking a hammer to one .

If you get these for a 123 you have to modify them a bit to fit. that means shaving off the inner lip and the outer protruding up so essentially its just a 'spacer' then with out the hub, but the hub of thecar is still there and is enough to center the wheel. other than that, they work pretty good.
