Note: The wheels and cars above have the 5 X 112 mm bolt pattern and use M12 X 1.5 ball seat wheel bolts.

They are compablible with wheels that are drilled for 14mm ball seat lug bolts. They will not fit onto Mercedes with 14mm lug bolt hubs!

Note: Most of the wheels and cars above have the 5 X 112 mm bolt pattern and use M14 X 1.5 ball seat wheel bolts.

Spacers are generaly not needed for these cars but, if you do need them they will be availible soon.

A hybird spacer with 12mm diameter mounting holes and M14x1.5mm threaded inserts is now availible.

 

The price of Mercedes late model wheels have dropped considerably. It is now much more cost effective to purchase modern wheels and spacers in order to spice up your older Mercedes. Look at the excellent selection of wheels currently offered for sale on eBay for the newer Mercedes. You certainly can't beat the quality and aesthetics of genuine Mercedes wheels!

A typical application consists of 4 X 25 mm spacers. To order use the link below. If you have trouble ordering please send an e-mail.

Note: GR Wheel Spacers are made in the USA.

Gil Racing has pioneered the Super Safe Super Light wheel spacer. These spacers use steel ball seat inserts (As do some Mercedes wheels!) and Gil Racing's own threaded inserts in order to provide maximum clamping force. Your very hard steel wheel bolts are only in contact with the spacers steel inserts. This prevents the soft aluminum threads found on other spacers from being ripped or deformed if over tightened or over abused.

 


12 mm Ball
This is the Mercedes style OE steel insert. These are used on some thin Mercedes aluminum wheel such as Bundts. This insert enables the mounting wheel bolt head to be placed lower in the spacer. It also allows the spacer to sustain higher compressive forces before the aluminum displaces.

12 mm X 1.5
This is Gil Racing's solution for bolting up a variety of different Mercedes wheels to a single spacer. Because different length mounting hardware can be found for Mercedes wheels, a spacer is needed with integral threads. Aluminum threads are simply not acceptable. Over torquing a steel bolt in an aluminum spacer will ruin the spacer and pose a very serious safety issue if not noticed. This is the key component that makes the Gil Racing MB-LS spacer the best in the industry. Gil Racing belives the safest cars on the road should remain that way!
