g63 off-roading / trails?

anyone have experience with off-roading on trails with a G63? most things i’ve read have said the stock side exhausts will get damaged... any actual experience? i’m not looking to do anything crazy, just hitting some trails in the northeast. appreciate any thoughts!

With a good set off tires you’ll be very surprised at how well the G63 does off road. The side exhausts really don’t get in the way very often. I’ve done some pretty difficult trails without ever running into issues with the side exhaust. I did eventually remove the side exhaust to give my G a little more clearance. I’ll post some pics a little later.

G63
thanks. that brings up a good question: any advice on good tires for off-roading on the G63 that can also be used for “regular” driving? ideally ones that can be used on my current 20” stock rims if that’s an option... since i live in the city i don’t really have the space to store extra tires, rims so need something a little more versatile.

We suggest using Nitto Terra Grappler G2. Good for streets and minor off-roading.
