E55_GT3wheels

I have searched a lot and have found different information.

I have heard and brabus North America also told me that Brabus makes one size rim in terms of offset and you have to use spacers to make the wheels fit different vehicles. I have also read here that there are exact fitment without spacers for the monoblocks VIs. Whats the truth?!

I just bought a pair of monoblock VIs 2 piece for a 2005 E55. They are
19 X 8.5 ET 45 and 19 X 9.5 ET 45. Called brabus and said they would fit with spacers. Is this correct?

Also, what tire size can should I run without any rubbing issues. Car is not lowered...

Any help is most appreciated!! Promise to post pics when the wheels are on the car.

Yes. They are all 45 ET. You need a kit from Brabus, and if they will sell it to you, then I suggest you take it. Should be around $240. The kit will dial in the ET perfect. All my spacers are at 10mm, but my rims are also 20"s, so the spacer size for your setup may be a different size. I'd put on 235s in front and 275s in the rear. PS2s are always a good choice. Now order the kit and your rubber and get the wheels on!

thanks!!

thats what i thought too but a lot of people say you can get different offsets without using spacers too so I was a bit confused.

Brabus will sell the kit, I called them. Need to order it.

Will do this now

You could fit old brabus rims that were ET 35 on non AMG cars fairly easily before. Not the case now since they moved to ET 45 on all their wheel casts. Make sure you get the entire kit as you will not only need the special Brabus spacers, but new lug nuts as well.
