Luke,
I have a 2005 SL55 and I just bought a pair of the Brabus Monoblock 2-piece VI rims staggered 8.5 x 19 and 9.5 x 19.

My stock rims are 8.5 x 18 and 9.5 x 18 with 255/40/18 and 285/35/18
I think it is a 30 offset due to the Mercedes manual.

What size tires do I need to go to on the Brabus rims?
I was thinking 255/35/19 and 285/30/19.
Brabus recommends 245 on the front. Do I need to do this?
I don't know the offset of the new rims because I don't have them yet. They are being shipped now.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sherman

I would run 255/35-19 front and either the 285/30-19 or 295/30-19 rear (depending on offset of the rear wheels)

Thanks, Luke.
I'll wait until I get the wheels to see what the offset is.

sounds like a plan

Hi Luke,
I have almost the same question.
I just got a set of Monoblock VI for my 2002 CLK55
They are 8.5X18 and 9.5X18 and all 4 the offset is 35.
Thanks
