When the Mercedes G500 4x4 Squared first released, wheel enthusiasts encountered a small problem: who makes a premium custom forged wheel in a 8x6.5 bolt pattern?! The options were slim to none so we set out to work with the engineers over at HRE - using our very own 4x4 G-Wagon for measurements - to produce the model specific TR188. With custom widths, offsets, and finishes it was only a matter of time before another G500 owner saw this style as the perfect addition to a bigger project. We treated the Benz below to a full onslaught of Brabus carbon pieces as well as a very trick illuminated Mansory drop step and finished everything off with the Satin Black “88’s”. This is certainly one way to differentiate your six figure off-road monster from the others.

Well done! Normally not a fan of brabus tricked out Gs but given the level of outrageous that is the standard 4x4(2) I think it works here. Top image not loading, fyi.

 

 

I know this is an old thread, but do you remember the offset for this setup? 22×10.5 ET45?

What is the factory center bore size? 116mm? 122mm?

Thanks!

 

Looks a ton like one that is near me....owner said it drives for crap....my Indi is trying hard to get it back to functional.

 

That's because it's not a Squared. It's a converted regular G. The tall lift kit is likely the issue. Probably has ridiculous torque steer.

 

For anyone wondering, I reached out to HRE, for the older body W463 G550 (G500 ROW) 4x4 Squared and the new body W464 G63, they said the wheel specs are:

22×10.5 ET40 with 122.5 center bore size.

 

Actually, that was me. To clarify, I said it "previously" rode like crap with the WB lift. The caster was WAY off and the lift caused significant rubbing in turns; it was borderline undriveable, particularly turning at any speed above 40. Despite their build description, it was 100% NOT a 4.5" lift; more like 2".. maybe. I tried contacting them about it via email and never got a reply. Granted, I bought it years after they sold it, but I figured they'd have some interest in at least giving me the actual specs of the lift.

Prior to taking it to Tucker, I had the full suspension replaced with a true 4" lift from Jackwagon Overlanding, including new shocks, Eurowise caster arms, adjustable panhard rods, etc. Zero issues since then, and frankly it handles "tighter" than a stock one now. When we met, it was in to track down a wiring gremlin or basic service; Tucker didn't touch the suspension (not that I wouldn't trust him), as I had that fixed some time prior.

Here's WB's original build thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/g-class-w...treatment.html

It was nice meeting you, but I hope it didn't cost you a new AMG GT for you wife... LOL

 

Nice stance. What offset are the wheels
