BRABUS wheels offset

Considering new wheels I was told by my dealer that all wheels made by Brabus have the same offset and that spacers have to be installed depending the model these wheels are installed in.

Is this statement correct ?

Thanks for your feedback

True. Brabus made one offset for most of their wheels. And depending on what model are the wheels for, they will provide a set of hub-centric adaptors in the package. These cannot be called spacers because they are screwed into the back of the wheels.

Many Thanks Harris

Just another point. How easy is it to install these adapters ? Can I do it myself ?

Do I need then to realign wheels or not ? I have to specify that I do not change naything as far as suspension are concerned

Thanks for your valuable reply

Yes, you can install the adaptors yourself. Its just a few screws.

Normally, there is no need to re-align the car if you change the wheels ONLY. You need when you touched the suspension.
