W463A G63 aftermarket wheels offset question
Anyone know if 20 inches x 11 offset +5 wheels with Nitto Terra Grappler 305/50/20 tires would fit 2019+G63 without any rubbing issue? (obviously stock height, and not willing to lift the truck.) Thank you for all the inputs.

I'll address the two separately.
1) The new wheel specs will get you 11mm more inner clearance which should be fine. The issue is how much the wheel will extend. In this case, 49mm beyond stock. Now I know people are running some big spacers but the question mark here is will it actually end up extending beyond the fender instead of nice and flush. That's something you'd have to measure to see if you have 5cm to the finder. My guess is not quite. I also don't know for sure but could cause rubbing when the wheels are turned.
2) That tire size will create a 3.83% diameter difference. The general rule of thumb is to never exceed 3% from stock. A better choice which is almost exact as stock is 305/45/20. That would be my recommendation there.

A 305/50/20 will rub during turning/full lock unless you were to use an offset that pushes the wheel well beyond the bodywork of the SUV. We built the ANRKY's below to a perfect flush fitment & it had minor rubbing as mentioned. Some customers live with it and other customers will go with a narrower wheel & tire setup.

What tire size are those in the pic ? 285 50 20 will also rub at full locking turn right? and 285 might not able to fit 11J wheels. How bad is the rubbing? If it is tolerable, I will just live with it. Or a little bit fender liner trimming would help that would be perfect. Thanks
We used 305/50/20 on that white G63. With the offsets that we have I don't believe that the 285 will rub. It's not possible to measure how badly it was rubbing since that's subjective but in my opinion it was tolerable. The client found it tolerable as well.
