[W126 Coupe] spacers

[Sam Sisic]

Markus,

You can get H&R spacers at Options Auto Salon www.optionsauto.com

Not sure what size spacer and bolt will work for you. Of course the bolt length depends on the spacer thickness you use. A good way to do it would be to measure the stock bolt shank remaining when placed in your stock wheel. This is how much bolt you should see in your new wheel & spacer combination. As you may know, this is critical for the rear wheels with the emergency drum brake set up. Too long of a bolt is disaster. Too short of a bolt is a different disaster. You should get at least 7 to 8 full turns on the lug bolt.
As far as spacers, it's some math and trial & error.
I have a set of never used 10mm H&R spacers (SEC rear hub and bolt pattern)which I held on to a bit too long and Options Auto would nor refund them. They're yours for half price plus shipping if you like. I believe they were around 80.00...
I never had much luck fitting front spacers thicker than 5mm... I believe the hub is slightly tapered. For front, no spacer is best if possible.

Good Luck,
Sam
