5mm spacer option

[Carl AMG]

Are you referring to the Carrera S wheel or the Sport Design wheel?

Carl AMG:

I am referring to the Tequipment Book.

They state that the 5 mm wheel spacers are not compatible with the Sport Design Wheel (987 044 602 03).

The Carrera S Wheel is 987 044 602 05 and apparently compatible with the spacers.

There are tons of aftermarket spacers available made of the same or better materials at a fraction of the cost. Do a net search and you'll find plenty. Just make sure you get the right length replacement lug bolts when you move the wheels out.

...and make sure the longer lug bolts have an anti-theft mechanism!

True that. Excellent point bmussatti. You can buy the four anti-theft lugs at a dealership using your lug key code and get the rest with the spacers.

Question about wheel spacers:

Do they always stay attached to the car? What I mean is, when the wheel is removed (for any maintenance) does the spacer come off or stay attached?

Thanks.
