Brabus K3
Brabus 18' on CL203 (Thanks Luke).
Hello,
I'm planing to put Brabus Monoblock VI on my sportcoupe:
8.5J x 18 H2 offset 30 225/40 ZR 18
9.5J x 18 H2 offset 35 255/35 ZR 18
Right now I have Brabus Monoblock VI 8J x 17 offset 30 225/45 ZR 17 all around.
1.- The actual front rims clear AMG calipers; will the new ones also clear them? (They are the same offset but rim is 8.5 instead of 8, so if I'm not wrong I will have better clearance for the calipers).
2.- The W203 uses 12mm wheel bolts, but some other mercedes uses 14mm wheel bolts; do the brabus rims are compatible with the 2 bolt sizes? or do they make 2 diferent rims one for each bolt size?
3.- Will I need fender roll or 5mm spacers at rear?
Thanks in advance, Best Regards,
Ruben.

those size specifications will work but, since we do not carry the Brabus product line I do not know the wheel profile to answer the brake clearance questions
