Quick wheel question, 19x9.5 et40 in the front.
I know my front wheels are 18x8.5 et30 off 2003 SL55, wonder what size spacers do i put in order to fit 19x9.5 et40 in the front.
I want to put just enough to clear the struts, maybe a 10mm or 15mm?
Thank you very much in advance.

If possible, measure clearance with current wheels/tires in mm.
Since 9.5" et40 have less inner clearance than 8.5" et30 by about 23mm, assuming you use same tire as current and not any wider, you will need a minimum of 15mm spacers.

Thank you very much for the advice.
Also, i notice the hub length is extra long compare to a lots of other vehicles, wonder if wheels are limited?
The 19x9.5 et40 wheel is off a newer Audi, which is same 5x112 and centerbore 66.6. Hope it will fit.

My car is at the shop getting facelifted so I don't have any pics as of now. They are Brabus Monoblock VI's. I will find out the offset soon when I put the car on the lift.

If I recall, all Brabus wheels have a default of 45mm. On our SL55 I used to have 20mm spacers in the rear and 15mm on the front.

Also, i am having problem with my H&R 20mm spacers, invoice part number is #4055665SW but on the 20mm spacers is engraved #4055665. Anyhow, since the front hub length is long, the spacers i have now won't even sit properly onto the hub.

I want to fit 10.5s in the front sometime in the future. Gotta figure out the offsets/ tire size to make it work.

Yah, but i can't keep buying spacers haha.
And yah it has to be either 15mm or 20mm, just not sure if 15mm will clear the suspension.
