Hubcentric Wheel Spacer Kit 15mm for Mercedes GLC X253/C253 (2016-2021), GLE W166/C292 & GLS X166 (2016-2019), SL R231 – GLC63 GLE63 GLS63 SL63

Precision 15mm Hubcentric Wheel Spacer Kit for Mercedes Benz GLC X253/C253 (2016-2021), GLE W166/C292 & GLS X166 (2016-2019), SL R231

What it Does: The 15mm Hubcentric Wheel Spacer Kit widens vehicle track width on 2016-2021 Mercedes Benz GLC, 2016-2019 GLE/GLS and SL R231 platforms to eliminate sunken wheel fitment, enhance high-speed cornering stability, and provide clearance for aggressive brake calipers.

The Stock Mercedes Benz Inset Stance Limitation

Factory wheel offsets on AMG performance SUVs and grand tourers leave significant negative fender gap, tucking the rolling assembly inward on the X253, W166, X166, and R231 chassis. Generic non-hubcentric spacers compromise structural load transfer, placing excessive shear loads directly onto wheel bolts. This misalignment creates dangerous rotational runout, brake rotor friction anomalies, and high-speed driveline harmonics across the M177, M276, and M157 drivetrains.

The Engineering Solution

Engineered for high-torque AMG platforms, this kit is CNC-machined from forged 7075 billet aluminum alloy, delivering superior tensile strength and fatigue resistance compared to standard 6061 alternatives. Featuring a precision-machined 66.6mm hubcentric register and integrated hub-lip, it transfers dynamic radial and axial suspension loads directly through the hub center. Extended high-tensile grade fasteners are included to ensure correct thread engagement depth, maintaining clamp force under extreme lateral g-forces and thermal cycling.

What's Included

• Hubcentric 15mm wheel spacer kit
• Extended lug fasteners

Frequently Asked Questions & Fitment Warnings

Does this fit the X253, W166, X166, and R231 GLC-Class, GLE-Class, GLS-Class, SL-Class?

Yes: 2016-2021 GLC X253/C253, 2016-2019 GLE W166/C292, 2017-2019 GLS X166 and 2016-2020 SL R231 models equipped with M177, M276, and M157 engines. It does NOT fit 2020+ GLE (V167/C167) or 2020+ GLS (X167), which use M15x1.25 wheel bolts. This kit is distinct from and does NOT fit G-Wagen (35mm pattern) or dedicated AMG GT spacer configurations. Always verify hub bore, bolt pattern, and fender clearance prior to installation.

What torque specifications should be used during installation?

Mate the spacer flush against a clean, corrosion-free hub face and torque the included extended fasteners in a cross-star sequence to factory Mercedes-Benz torque specifications.
