If the bolts are too long on the rear wheels they will hit the parking brake mechanism and damage it, so be careful when selecting bolts.
I do not know how long the bolts would have to protrude from the hub to do damage but I am sure that info is on here somewhere.
40 plus spacer thickness seems a wise length.

Re: Hubcentric rings.

So if I decide to go with 15mm spacers using the stock wheels, what do I need to know to prevent the grease cap fit issue on the fronts? Also I would assume 55mm ball shank lug bolts.

Thanks, James

Re: Hubcentric rings.

The distance to the step inside of the spacer must be a tad more than the outside of the grease cap to the hub face.

The 55mm length is correct.

Re: Hubcentric rings.

There is a difference between the SRT and NA front hubs, so you must make sure you state that the AMG front spacers for the SRT. My NA with the 10mm hub centric did fine, but I ordered the same one for the SRT and it does not fit, EZAccessory is sending the one for a SRT/ AMG and I should get it this week will post photos.
what car are you putting these on?
