Overview

The Mercedes-Benz B-Class is a subcompact executive car manufactured and marketed by Mercedes-Benz since 2005. The first generation (W245) was introduced in Europe, Australia, and other parts of the world in early 2005, and in Canada in late 2005. It uses front-wheel drive with sandwich floor construction and parabolic rear suspension, maximizing interior volume via its height. This generation was marketed globally except in the United States due to pricing issues.

Go wider and the offset has to rise with it, about 8 to 10 ET per extra 1J, or the wheel pokes past the arch. The fit-check settles the exact offset and any spacer.
