2013 G550 Upgrades
Hey everyone. Happy to be here. Proud new owner of a black 2013 G550.
Questions I am hoping to get some help with as I want to make some changes;
1. Currently have the stock 18" wheels in Silver. What is the best wheel & tire size on this truck that is a good compromise between aggressive look and ride comfort? I am think of going with 22 inch wheels and a tire size of 305-40-22 or 305-45-22. I just want the wheel well to look pretty full but don't want a horrible ride and don't want to do any lift or custom suspension. Needs to fit in a standard garage and airport parking garages.
2. Is there a 3rd row option OEM or after market to purchase? Just curious.
3. What all needs to be blacked out for the 'full blackout/murdered out effect"? How do the turn signal lamps get done? Painted?
4. Better to go to MB official dealer for service or find good local shop that specializes in MB?
I'm in Scottsdale Arizona so if any recommendations for places here that would be cool.
Thanks! I know it's all a matter of personal opinion which is fine.
And if there are existing threads on all of this, slap my wrist, and let me know. :-)
Had a lot of cars and trucks in my life. But in just 3 days of driving (including 5 hours form LA to AZ) this has exceeded all my expectations!
Thanks!
