Want to know if this will still look good on the car. I did not get staggard look because of sale. 18x8.5 x 18x8.5. Will this still look good. It doesn't take away from the look of the car does it. ANy help will be good, also any pics of the same set up would be great too. Thanks

Well if the off set in the rear is right, and or if you pull spacer in the rear.....it shouldn't be too bad. Since the sport sedan has 8 or 8.5 ( i don;t remember) in the rear....and it looks fine....it should be ok. Plus the cool thing is...with the same size all the way around....now u can rotate the tires from front and back also.

Can anyone please supply a pic with the same set up. does not matter what rims, just want to see what the final product is going to look like.
18x8.5 front and 18x8.5 in back.

Also can I do different tires on the same size rims will that look dumb.
example 225/40/18 front 245/35/18 rear
this just a question, not too good with this stuff,.

it's ok to run the same width of wheels. the tires should be staggered as your stated... either with a 255 or 245 width. although I would say the 255 width is a better choice... think of it this way you would get protection from the curbs when you parallel park..

ernster

so it would'n look stupid with the bigger tires in the back. Running the same size tire all around isn't the right thing to do. the set up with the 225 in the front and 245 is correct, with the same size rim.

yeah that's fine.. i've seen many ppl do it... but it's better to run a wider tread in the rear for traction.. our cars are rear wheel drive

If anyone has the set up like this 18x8.5 all around please post pics so I can see what it looks like.

Thanks

You will need to be careful with the offset on the front. Check with your tire dealer to ensure they will clear the calipers and fender well.

Here is what they look like on my coupe.

brabusccoupe are those 18x8.5 all around? car looks great. See i thought when i got the same 8.5 all around the car would not have that rockered look to it. you notice how our cars look tilted foward. if it is 8.5 what size tires do you have set up on the car?

brabusCcoupe

Thanks, yes, they are 18x8.5 all around. I got the NITTO tires 225-40-18 in size. I just ordered some H & R springs to lower it slightly. Take care and Good luck.

Were the illuminated door sills difficult to wire? thanx.

looks great!

I had the dealership do it. They charged me 400.00 or something like that to do it. They work great. I got them from www.formymercedes.com.

The NITTO tires, you are going to use that size all around?

Real Brabus Wheels come with spacers, they will look fine..if you want it to look wider, get another spacer.
