OP, ignore this guy. Spacers are safe to run. Nice SL!

I would not run spacers you are asking for problems. The spacers can break the lug bolts off because they will be to long and a host of other issues.

Don't let anyone tell you different either. I have installed hundreds of sets of aftermarket wheels in my day. You would be putting yourself and others at risk.

You don't know anything!! Spacers are sold for show only ask any manufacturer of them.

How many sets of wheels have you sold??

How many sets have you installed???
They break for 2 reasons one you have longer lug bolts which stress differently than factory another is the fact that the aluminum spacer and the aluminum wheel expand and contract differently when heated and cooled so the spacers work themselves loose. When they loosen up they stress the studs more and cause them to break.


Hey but what do I know.
I understand what you're saying. Of course custom wheels are a better option...

How many wheel spacer failures have you seen? If the correct spacers and studs/lug bolts are installed, they will not fail.
