Do Brabus VI rims on SL55 need spacers
Discount tire will not put rims/tires on if they need spacers.
What are my options? Just have them mounted and balanced and put them on myself with the spacers.
I have a 2005 SL55 with Brabus 2 piece VI 8.5x19 and 10.0/19
Will I need spacers for these?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks!

you should find another tire shop. Dont deal with them. If your wheels take spacers, they wont fit on the car w/out using them. So why should an un knowledgable tire store be fooling with the car.
The wheel wont fit if the bolt length is too long, so they have to use the whole set up. They dont know what they are doing. Get away from them.
all brabus are made to fit all cars, using the right spacer width. So it wont fit w/out them. and the bolt is for that width. It wont work.
