19" Brabus monblock VI 2pc on 500E?

[iidoshii]

Hi Guys,

I currently have the 19" AMG monoblocks on my 500E. I love the wheels and plan to keep them. I just want a change in style. I want to buy a set of Brabus monoblock VI in 19" which are the 2pc. They come standard from Brabus as 19x8.5 ET45 and 19x9.5 ET45. With maybe a 12-15mm spacer these should work on right? I don't think it will be to much different then my current 19" monoblocks but wanted to check. Also wanted to see if anyone else put these on there car in 19"? I know the style wheel is not really era specific, but I like them and feel they can still look good.

Thanks in advance

This is the closest ol' google showed me. Squinting is required.

I'd use 15-20mm spacers. If the Brabus wheels use ball-seat lugs, you may need special lugs with M12 thread and R14 ball seat. If they are cone seat it shouldn't be an issue.

The SL in the picture belongs to SL BRABUS @ BenzWorld, both the SL's in the picture are his, I think he's a moderator on 129 forum.

I'm sure he would shed some light on the wheel fitment details, look here

Thanks guys... I saw a picture of a W124 with the 18" monoblovk VI, which are not 2pc, but still look good. I think the 19" really will look great on the car.

Thanks, you think the 12mm would be to small? Maybe the 15mm would be a good compromise or do you suggest 20? I wonder how the best way to find out what lugs the Brabus wheels use? In any case, it should not matter much I guess, because the M12-R14 are what I believe I had to get to make my 19" AMG monos work too.

Spacer thickness depends on how much you want to fill out the fenders. 12-15mm is plenty conservative. With 20mm spacers they would be ET25 front & rear... zero issues with clearance/rubbing even with 255/285 tires. Although you could probably go out even further (especially in the rear), I'd stay in the 15-20mm range. Remember you need hubcentric spacers...

From memory, the Brabus wheels use ball-seat lugs... but you'll need to double-check.

Thanks!!! that is exactly what I am going to do then. I will keep it simple and just do 20mm spacers front and rear. I pray it all goes well. Thanks for your help!

I have a set of these for sale, but they need a little TLC...
