will this wheels fit a 2007 GL450?

Hello all, my cousin has a 2007 GL450 and he is looking to upgrade his wheels. I'm trying to help him out but don't know anything about GL's. I came across this set which seems to be a great deal. Any advice will be greatly appreciated

They should fit. You will need to run the ET60's in the front and ET 48's in the rear. Don't forget, the 21" tires are crazy expensive and you have a very limited selection. I woud go for a nice set of 22" wheels and tires. I think the 22's look better and you have a much broader choice of tires that are much less expensive.

I bought my 21" AMGs from the same seller and he's great. Another member also bought the same wheels you're looking at for his R and they're good as well.

The offset is ET48 for all four.

Here's how to calculate if it works:

Find the rims he has right now and then get the ET for it: http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/mer...ss_x164_alloys

Then go to http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp and calculate how far out they will stick. Likely an ET48 setup will be fine for a GL. Is he on a GL550 or smaller engine? (550 has flares so you can go more aggressive)

I would double check on the offsets and wheel width. These may be from an ML given the offset and width. The GL wheels are 21X10. These are 21X9.
