I took another photo, will try to get some images of the vehicle driving on the road in the next week or so and post them here.

Hi Sebl,

I'm looking to get a Brabus wheel or Carlsson's but I'm worried about the offsets they suggested and about going 19". I hope you can tell me more on how the car looks and feel.

What offset are those Brabus wheels using for the front and back. And do they stick out or is it flush with fenders? Sure would help if you have a picture of the fender and wheel close up to see it.

I see your car is lowered too, is it a harsh ride with the 19" and does it rub in the back when the car is full?

Cheers.

I have the Brabus "Monoblock S" type rims. They're 19 x 7.5 with 215/35 ZR 19 Pirelli P Zeroes front and back. Brabus installed spacers to each rim so that the edge of the rim sits flush with the bodywork / fenders. I'll measure the spacer and let you know the width.

The only negative with the 19's is that the 215/35 tyres do not have edge protectors. Therefore the edge of the rim can be easiy scratched when parking etc. Just need to be careful. I believe Pirelli are the only tyre manufacturers that make the 215/35 in 19".

As part of the Brabus conversion the original MB sport springs were removed and the Brabus sport springs installed. I think it now sits around 30mm lower. The ride is firm but not as harsh as the Subaru STI which this vehicle replaced.

I also have the original MB AMG 5 spoke rims if you are interested, as new and never used. Would be happy to sell you these.

Overall I would highly recommend the Brabus mods.

Cheers

Sebl.

Thanks Sebl, let me know what the spacers measurements are. Also, what are the offsets for the front and back? Or did Brabus use the same offset for the front and back and use different spacers to make it flush with the bodywork?

Just went and checked the spacers, they are 10mm on each rim.

Thanks Sebl, but what are the offsets for the front and back wheels? Brabus never metioned them on their site.

Yep I agree I'm chopping mine in for a Silver one they also stay cleaner looking longer.

Hope the new one, when it arrives, isn't another friday afternoon job as I've had lots of problems with my present one. Problem is when they are going well they are great to drive so you don't want to change makes.

I'm hoping they have got some of the bugs ironed out by now (wishful thinking)
