Are There Any Size Monoblocks That Will Clear 05 Brake Pads.
Hey guys I'm thinking of getting new rims for my car, but I have to be honest I love that classic amg monoblock full rim look ..... the Aero II's you know. However, I don't know if there is any set up that will clear the brake pads in the front. Do you guys know if this is possible. If not I guess Lorinser LM1's would be the closest thing, but way too much money and I'm not even sure if those would fit either.

What you should do is figure out what size rim you want first (i.e. 17, 18 or 19), go to a wheel shop that has the rims you want, and then find out what set ups can fit over the stock calipers.
How could Lorinser LM1's not fit? It all depends on what size rim you're looking to get and what width rim.
But first find the rim you're looking for (online, at a performance shop, etc...) then either put an inquiry into the shop or online store that you found the rims at. Very easy. Usually most shops will give you the answer you're looking for. In this case, you're looking for a yes/no answer (Will they fit or won't they fit?). Usually shops would give you more alternatives as well (i.e. width of rim, size of tire, etc...)

With 2500 or so you can get new 19 staggered rims with tires and definitely will clear your front caliper but don't expect authentic Brabus, Lorinser, AMG or Kleeman.
