cant answer you because you haven't provided enough information. you should
touch bases with a brabus vendor to determine the specs of the rim first,
particularly the hub diameter and the ball seat size/design.
i'm going to presume you've already identified the bolt pattern being suitable for
the MB, as well as the offset for the rims.
on the MB side, this much is given: you will need a bolt diameter of 12mm. what
isn't know is the length needed because that is based on the thickness of the
wheel (not the width) measured from the bottom of the lug seat, through the
hole, and to the surface as it exits the bolt hole. you would add another .5" more.
but you'll need to do a little more work and investigation. if someone here already
has the same rim, they may be able to shed light on the missing specs
