Front Wheels: 8.5JX19, offset 35mm
Rear Wheels: 10JX19, offset 35mm


I have a seller who has these wheels, Brabus that I've been looking for for YEARS and he is going to sell to me today but I don't know if they'll fit the Xfire.


Can anyone help?


thanks!

 

Rears will work, might need a 10mm spacer. Front would require a 5mm spacer (unavailable in hub-centric, would need to buy a 10mm H&R and machine down).

 

I'm sorry my friend when it comes to wheels all I know is what looks good. thats Chinese to me

If I buy these would I be able to make them work without them looking ridiculous or rubbing? Sorry to create another question.

thanks. Do you have a link to those parts I'll need? Also, what does "machine down" mean? I don't have access to any machining equipment and will probably not have access to getting anything machined as insurance companies here in CT have all shops defensive.

 

That's no problem.

The spacers are carried by a number of vendors, the brand is H&R and the spacer thickness is 10mm.

Bolt pattern is 5X112.

The hub-centric spacers act as a centering ring for the wheel. Without a spacer on the front, the 8.5" wide wheel will make contact with the upper suspension nut.

You'd need at least 5mm of spacing to clear, but the 5mm spacers don't have the hub-centering function. only 10mm and up... 10mm would make the wheel stick out too far past the fender. So, 5mm needs to be machined (shaved) off.

Might ask if someone on here can machine them for for you?

 

thank you so much! Can anyone here do this service for me or know where I can buy a set machined already? I'm pretty sure I saw a thread where someone fit these wheels but it was years ago. Can anyone assist as I want to buy these.

Much thanks!!!

 

MAYA, is your car lowered? The answers you're getting only apply with stock suspension.

You can't always do aftermarket parts on the cheap. A reputable shop will be able to give you the correct advice. If you're thinking about buying something off craigslist before you're sure, fuggedaboutit.

 

Yeah I have the Eibach spring kit. Is that a huge problem?

Thanks

 

Has anyone done this on a lowered Xfire with the Eibach springs?

 

Would 18s work in the front without hub rings? Sorry for all the questions but I have access to two pairs and was thinking of taking the four 18s and 19s and then using the 18s on the front and the 19s in the rear.

 

Honestly, the wheel diameter isn't the big issue, it's the width vs. offset. Even an 18" wheel would cause complications if the offset was wrong. Most Mercedes-compatible wheels are already hub-centric, it's the spacers that can cause issues if they're not.

Factory offset is +35mm, but that's with a 7.5" wide wheel. By running an inch wider wheel, you need to push the wheel out a few mm further.

Many people on here have run a 19x8.5" front wheel with +32mm offset. Yes, even lowered folks. You will get some slight rubbing at high lock, low-speed turns but aside from that you'll be fine. +30mm would be even better for clearance, but you will stick past the fender very slightly.

I'd just buy the set of 19's, if the deal is good enough and this is a wheel you've been looking for forever. We can help you make them work.

 

Many thanks buddy. Gonna get the 19x8.5 and the 19.10 wheels.

The 18s were 18x10 and 18.8.5 35mm
