Mercedes-Benz Gelaendewagen stock and custom wheels 1979 - 2009

Valid for all Mercedes-Benz Gelaendewagen wheels: they have a 5/130 mm bolt circle (5 on 130 mm bolt pattern) , ball seats (very important), 84.1 mm (3.310") center bore (also very important), ET 63 mm on most stock wheels (ET is the European form of back spacing) - on wider wheels ET (Einpresstiefe) is around 50 mm or less. The US version of the G500, G550 and G55 have ET43 instead of ET63 - that gives the vehicle a slightly wider stance.

And before you ask - No, no other Mercedes-Benz car wheels (like M-Class, S-Class etc.) will fit! However, since Porsche, Pinzgauer, Mercedes/Dodge Sprinter wheels are very similar, they can be made fit with some modifications.

Less than ET 63 mm will make the wheels stick out farther (see CW/Borbet wheels down the list).

Since 460 axles are narrower than 463 axles (by 25 mm on each side) use of 463 alloy wheels will make the tires to sit too far inside the fender well of a 460 - therefore spacers of at least 30 mm are mandatory. Otherwise the tires will rub on the inside (steering arm and control arms). Please note that 460 alloy wheels have a different ET than the steel wheels to create the necessary space for wider tires.
The 16" steel wheels of the 460 series will not fit on 463 axles without spacers. The shape of the steel wheels will not clear the tie rod ends of the 463.
On later 463 (2002 and later) 16" wheels will not fit the AMG model versions due to increased brake disk size.

Attention: when changing from steel wheels to alloy wheels you will need longer bolts!

If you have more/better/different images of the wheels and vehicles shown - please let me know, - I would like to show as many as possible.
