2001 C320 with oem 16in wheels.

Hello, I brought some aftermarket wheels that should’ve had the all the same specs as the oem wheels I had, tire size and all after much research.

The OEM offset is 37mm The aftermarket offset is 35mm I didn’t see that.

So when I tightened the bolt, the wheel bearing makes the center hub cap protrude. Clearance is compromised due to a wheel weight from the tire shop. When I spun the wheel, it was nice until the caliber stopped it 😭

What should I do from here? Would 3mm spacers work? Thanks

This is my first car and first wheels
