when you order from Brabus and stated that it's for the W203 or W209, they'll include the 5mm spacer that can be secured to the wheel by way of screws. when it's for other model they exclue the spacers, but you can still add them on.

These are THE ONLY spacers I would use as well. Other wheel companies need to follow suit! BTW, brabus also sends bolts and necessary hardware for these spacers (varying in size).

btw: frank, do you have a picture of what brabus wheel locks look like? (i've been told these exist, but mr. google doesn't know either).

But the spacers comes to front wheels or rear wheels?

front possible tires: 225/40 ZR 18-88 € 385.00
612-958-35RDK 9.5J x 18 H2 offset 35** € 580.00 15.00
rear possible tires: 245/35 ZR 18-88 € 400.00
or 255/35 ZR 18-90 € 470.00

**203-106-90 modifications required VERSION II € 450.00
for sufficient wheel coverage and clearance with 18“ wheels

Best Regards.

You know more specifically if they sell them mix and matched? i.e. 5mm locking bolts and 10mm locking bolts? TIA.

Ruben, they send the spacers to be used in front.

you'll have to include what wheels and model of car you have so they can send you exactly what you need.

Then I can take a offset 35 with a Brabus bigger spacer and it will be the same?

Best Regards.

The mono VI for the W203 comes with the 5mm spacers. The wheel itself for the front 8.5 is ET35 plus the 5mm spacer the ET = 30.

Are you sure about this?

The the: 612-858-30RDK 8.5J x 18 H2 offset 30 is in fact a 35 offset wheel with a 5mm spacer?

Best Regards.

Yes he's right. You will need to use the 5mm spacers.
