My '04 E55 on Brabus Monoblock VI 20"
Decided to go with Brabus wheels. 
There are many Mono VI style wheels out there... but not enough originals. It looks good in black, although it does hide some of the wheel design as most black wheels do.
Front: 20x9 255x30x20 ET 38
Rear: 20x10.5 295x25x20 ET 33
Surprisingly didn't experience any clearance issues. There is so little rubber that I'm still a bit weary of anything on the road. With the way the wheels sit, I do not think that lowering the car is necessary.
Anyway's, let me know what you guys think.

I used to live in summerlin, but live in panorama towers now. I could tell that it was tudor park because the front of the homes are very distinctive. Nice floorplans too especially in the upper master bedroom area. I'm in the real estate business so that's how I figured it out.

Vadim, If I was to lower the car with a Brabus product, would I experience any rubbing in front or back? I think on the road at about 50 miles per hour when I encounter a dip I thought that I heard a bit of rubbing in the back. Not too concerened about it now, but if lowered that can potentially get worse. Correct?

Thanks for that input. I thought 295 might be a bit much, but as said earlier I'm surprised that it works as well as it does. Is yours lowered?

I thought 295 would be okay, as Brabus recommends it. I already had the 285 tires in my garage so that's why I went with them. My car is lowered about an inch 1/2 front and rear. Depending on how much you are lowering your car, I would recommend a 25 series tire as opposed to a 30 series like I went with.
