Hi Guest !
Welcome to the 500Eboard forum.
Since its founding in late 2008, 500Eboard has become the leading resource on the Internet for all things related to the Mercedes-Benz 500E and E500. In recent years, we have also expanded to include the 400E and E420 models, which are directly related to the 500E/E500.
We invite you to browse and take advantage of the information and resources here on the site. If you find helpful information, please register for full membership, and you'll find even more resources available. Feel free to ask questions, and make liberal use of the "Search" function to find answers.
We hope you will become an active contributor to the community!

Wheel spacers

The correct thickness would be zero, as in general you want to avoid spacers like the plague.
Assuming you own a 500E and want to push the wheels further out strictly for aesthetics, 10mm would work, 15mm would be pushing it a bit up front. Problem is you need hubcentric spacers and H&R doesn't offer them in 10mm thickness due to grease cap interference. The correct solution is to buy wheels in the correct width/offset that don't need spacers. Or leave them alone, the size you have is fine.
Search the forum for info on lowering. It's not straightforward with SLS and a 1-inch drop is a ton, as the 500E is already the lowest of all 124's except the E60 AMG.
