h&R spacers
im having trouble with my 19" brabus replicas. first, the fronts wont clear the caliper and seem to bump the strut. i figured id need spacers but have no idea which mm to get. also, since i have a 35 offset, i dont know if ill need rear spacers as well. the backs are 9.5 with 265 tires and the fronts are 8.5 with 245 tires. any help would be greatly appreciated as ive searched the forum but have only gathered mixed information. i posted a thread similar to this one and got a response, but i dont want to try putting a generic spacer on. also, are there any hubcentric spacers available for our cars? thanks

nope. depends on what type of replicasi have 35 offset brabus vi reps and they DID Not fit even with spacers, you would have to run atleast 15 mm spacers (no not th 3 or 5) I had a pro shop work on them, they will not work if you are looking at brabus reps that are running 19x8.5 in fronts with 35 offset. It wont clear, your wheel would have to be outside the fender. BIG NO NO.
sorry bro...im selling my brabus chrome reps right now for a good price because of this. I was so damn disapponted, pretty upset too let me tell you. Anyways I have pics of the wheels in other threads, im selling them on ebay, they are amazing looking but will not fit a c230 sedan 05 , 06 etc
just look for brabus chrome 19" on ebay to see some pictures
I am getting gianelle spezia 5's instead.
good luck

they tried both 5 and 10 mm. h and r/ spacers, they tried stacking them, it wouldnt clear the caliper. (05 SS)
The rear fit perfect, just not the fronts. They could push it out with a 15 or so, but it would be outside the fender and the front wheel would sit farther out than the rear in addition to tearing into the fender (the actual paint part)
