Installing Mercedes wheel spacers to space the wheels out a few millimeters is a way to enhance ride quality. Moving the wheels further away from the hub assembly creates a wider track. A wider track generally improves grip, which enhances your car’s handling characteristics and rollover resistance.
Whether you’re looking to improve racing or off-roading performance or simply aiming to achieve a unique, powerful look, installing the right Mercedes wheel spacers is the easiest way to go. Let’s dive into the world of spacers and explore the top brands.
How to Choose the Best Mercedes Wheel Spacers?
The best rim spacers for your Mercedes-Benz cars will fit safely while providing the style upgrade and the best performance. Here are the key factors of choosing the best wheel spacers.
Bolt Patterns:
Before shopping for wheel spacers, it’s important to check whether the spacers have the right size of axle hole and bolt pattern (PCD) for your vehicle. Specific wheel spacers for specific wheel hub. Double-check the vehicle bolt pattern in your owner’s manual before buying a set.
Check Wheel Offset:
Determine your current wheel offset and calculate the difference from the desired offset. Generally, a Mercedes 20mm wheel spacer will reduce about 20mm offset. The less the offset, the more the wheels will stick out from the vehicle hub assembly.
Wheel Bolts:
If you use Mercedes slip-on spacers, you need extended wheel bolts. It is easy to figure out the proper length (stock bolt length + spacer thickness = extended bolt length). It is critical that the wheel bolts seat and the wheel lug seat match.
Hub-Centric Spacers:
The Mercedes hub-centric spacers are better than lug-centric spacers. Since the wheel is centered on the hub, hub-centric wheel spacers provide better stability. This design minimizes the potential wheel vibration and ensures even weight distribution.
Quality Materials:
If you want to upgrade your Mercedes car’s style and performance, consider a set of forged aluminum wheel spacers.
- Daily Drivers: For those who mainly drive on streets or light off-road, the 6061-T6 wheel spacers are just enough.
- Racing Enthusiasts: Experts recommend forged 7075-T6 spacers for passionate driving. They are less likely to break even under hard driving.
