Brabus 18x8.5 with a 35 mm offset. What spacers should I use to make it look wide?

[D & E Sales]

I have a 92 500e and it has the above listed Brabus 18x8.5 wheel with a 35 ET. The car doesn't look right. Running 245/40 18 tires.
I want to pull the wheel out to the edge but do not want rubbing of any kind.
Please Help!
Hub Centric spacers are needed but what width and what is the bore to the Benz size hole should I be looking for?
Maybe even where to get them?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you are looking for a "flush look" with 18x8.5 front wheels, you should reduce your offset to a range between 18-22. The size/width of a spacer will reduce the offset of the wheel; therefore if you want to bring the offset down to a ET20 from a ET35 wheel you should consider using a 15mm spacer. You tire size 245/40R18 for the front wheels is correct and will work fine with your size of wheel.

Center Bore for your 500E should be 66.56

Hope this helps!

Hi Power! Thank you so much this is exactly the information that I was looking for.
If I can't find the proper spacers that work between the Benz and the Brabus wheel I may just machine my own, I am pretty crafty on a lathe.

Remember you must use hubcentric spacers... these are commonly available. You may have interference with the front wheel bearing dust cap, depending on the spacer design. I've never used spacers so I can't provide details beyond that, sorry.

Hi mate,

I guess you find everything you need in the following links:

H&R has even TÜV approval on their 15mm spacers for the 500E:

Here's some interesting reading about spacers from H&R:

For extended bolts with correct R12 radius bolt head flange, I highly recommend the German RAD bolts. Otis is the vendor in the US and they also provide hubcentric spacers:

For max overlength on the lug bolts, please read post #40:
