Brabus SL wheels on a E55 for fun.....
Was bored the other day so i decided to try on the wheels off the SL on to the E. the offset is to radical for the e55 but it almost works ohh ya by the way the tire on the wheel is a 295/30/19 on a 9.5 inch wheel so with the right tire it might work.

Looks like a little high.
Did you move the car a little back and forth??...this way it could be at his normal height.

Yes. When you change wheels or just one wheel; you have to use the parking brake, right??... when you took the brake off drop the car a little, then roll it back and forth and you'll see the diference.

Meaning you could go to a 275 tire on that rim with no problems and it might improve the fit. The shoulder of the tire would stick out about 3/4 inch less and have less chance of rubbing on the fender.

Maybe Brabus made a different offset wheels for SL... back in the day all casts were the same and offset adjusted by spacers. My Brabus wheels are all sitting on 10mm spacers.
