Max, thanks for doing the math on our differences. I have 20mm spacers so I will have the tires mounted this weekend and try my spacers for fitting.

MikeR, I will fit the 20mm spacers tonight and this weekend so you may not need to let me borrow your 10mm spacers afterall.

Silverwolf, you had the same problems that I had waiting on these. I was calling every two days to get status updates. I was told this is the first set sold in Texas at least. I had the hardest time spening money too, discount and TSW tried talking me out of them several times. Where did you get your spacers from? I went with H&R hub centric. I was nervous about the 5mm ones (that I thought were going to be needed) since they aren't offered in hub centric. Also, I not only verified with the manufacturer (through discount because they don't spec it out on the website) about tappered/conical as well as verifying when I installed them. Very few aftermarket wheels have the mercedes factory ball seat wheel bolts.

The center cap works on the rear but not the front. The hub/bearing cap sticks out too far. I don't know if I shlould leave the TSW cap off and just paint the factory hub/bearing cap black, or try and find a lower profile one.
I was doing the same thing! I was checking wheel inventory on Tsw.com daily,waiting for them to arrive! I almost gave up and ordered TSW Nurburgring's instead.
I have the H&R hub centric's as well. I got them from Velocity Mania in Richardson,TX. Ordered the wheels through JW Motorsports in California, As they wanted to help me make certain they would work more than just sell me what fit off the shelf so to speak.
My fronts have a 32mm offset and 35 in the rear. I'll let you know how fitment is if they ever get here. Estes says they should be here in the next day or so. (Doubt I'd ever recommend them for shipping ever again) I know my wife is growing tired of the pair of 295/30/19 coffee tables in her living room!
