Help with some basic wheel info 2018 G550

Grabbed a 2" lift for my 2018 G550 and was curious if there are any 17" wheel options available for this thing. It currently has the 19" AMG Wheels on it and I really do not want that large of a diameter wheel and would like to improve my off road tire choices with the 17's/ I plan on taking it off-road, not just living on the pavement.

Any info is appreciated, tia

This is the new toy

You can get 16” wheels but try at your own risk! I’ve heard of conflicting info on whether or not they’re fit on the G550. If you watch videos of euro spec 2018 G500 they can be fitted with 16” wheels

the part number is A 463 401 23 00 - 7.5x16 et43 - stock tires are 265/70/16 - the style is the same as the wheels on the G350d professional. I think they look awesome and I have these on my list of mods to do

there are also military spec 17.5” wheels for the w461 - not sure what the part number is and whether or not they fit g550s. See attached pic.

there are also aftermarket 17” wheels but not sure what’s out there

heres a good reference list http://www.rubicon-trail.com/G-Class/wheels/start.html

Thank you for the reply.

I have decided to go with the factory 18" to minimize potential issues. I will spend more time in the next few months looking over additional wheel choices and probably change once again after doing more research

Should have plenty of good tire choices with the 18" wheels
