For many SUV owners, the Mercedes W167 wheel spacers are the easiest way to get perfect fitment from their wheels and tires. The factory wheel setup tends to be pushed slightly inwards which makes your car look like a quite big space between the wheel and arch. This, actually, doesn’t create a sportier and more flush appearance. Besides, if you add bigger tires, you may meet rubbing issues. The purpose of Mercedes-Benz wheel spacers is to create extra space between the wheel and the hub assembly. By pushing the wheels and tires slightly outward, they allow you to safely fit wider tires on your existing wheels or upgrade to bigger brake calipers without rubbing against the frame, axle, or other suspension components.
Everyone would like a car with a good looking in the society. If you calculate well and get proper size Mercedes W167 wheel spacers installed, your car will look much snazzier. These components will create extra clearance between the hub assembly and the wheels. This makes the wheel protrude away from the fender, giving your GLE 450 a sportier and more aggressive exterior. It will distinguish your car from other cars in the street. If you have added wider fenders and kept the current wheels, you will most likely find a big hole in the fenders-the wheels look stuck in the arches too much. With 2-inch wheel spacers, you can push the wheels to fill the arches, which effectively makes your widebody car more noticeable!
Are Mercedes 5×112 Wheel Spacers Safe?
High-quality Mercedes-Benz wheel spacers and correct spacer sizes are the primary conditions to ensure the wheel spacers safe. For example, the bolt pattern (PCD) and center bore (CB) of your vehicle hub. The PCD refers to the diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs. In a 5-lug wheel, measure from the back of a hole to the center of the second hole. The center bore refers to the diameter of the hole in the center of the vehicle hub and wheel. If the data is PCD: 5×112 CB: 66.5mm, then you will exactly need Mercedes 5×112 wheel spacers with 66.5 mm hubcentric. If you need extended wheel bolts, then knowing the thread pitch is also important.
How to Choose Mercedes W167 Extended Wheel Bolts?
The new-generation GLE-Class has changed to a new chassis named W167/V167. They keep the same PCD and CB but do some change on the thread pitch – from M14x1.5 to M15x1.25. If you’ve purchased a set of aftermarket Mercedes wheel bolts, apart from the correct thread, the seat type is important for fitment. Aftermarket W167 wheel bolts come in three standard types: cone seat, ball seat, and flat seat. They are made to match specific mounting holes and fit different seat types of rims. This is especially important if you changed to aftermarket wheels and find that the stock bolts are not compatible. At BONOSS store, we have lined up the new M15x1.25 Mercedes extended wheel bolts according to the specifications of the stock ones.
If you using Mercedes spacers for wheels, it is critical to ensure your wheel bolts are long enough for the proper thread engagement. Giving an example, if your stock bolt’s length is 45mm, and you have installed 15mm spacers, then 60mm wheel bolts will be required. It is very important to ensure Mercedes-Benz lug bolts are torqued to the correct specifications. If a wheel bolt is undertorqued, it can continue to loosen itself through the vibrations while driving. As a result, it will unseat the wheel from the hub and create additional vibrations as it spins erratically. This can put pressure on the W167 bolt itself that it was unable to handle, leading to eventual failure. Over torquing can have similar effects.
