Brabus monoblock IV wheels on w210 E55?
Greetings,
I have a stock '01 w210 E55.
I am looking at a set of Brabus 18 x 8.5, et35 monoblock IV wheels.
I know this will leave me with a non-staggered setup and am OK with that.
My questions are:
- Will a front et of 35 be a problem when factory recommended et is 31?
- Will the front width of 8.5" be a problem when the factory recommended width is 8"?
- If spacers are required should that cause me to reconsider buying these wheels?
- Is lug size (diameter, length) an issue?
Many thanks
Greg

brabus monoblock iv
Hi. Saw your old post. I have 3 of these wheels (1 piece). there is a fair amt of curb rash. You could use 2 for front wheels, 1 as a spare; then look for 18 x 9 or 9.5 for the rears and preserve your staggered setup. 8.5 width should not be a problem as they fit my e320 fine without even rolling fenders (though I'm running 235's instead of the amg 245's). 1 of 3 tires is good (about 40%; your future spare)
Alternatively, if you happen to know where to find 1 or 2 of these, I'd be interested.
thx
