RJ6 G63 wheel fit G550
Does anyone know if the 21" AMG twin 5 spoke wheel RJ6 option for the G63 will fit on the G550 , 2020/2021 model year. Love the wheel. not a option on the G550 when ordering new car. (285/45/R21 10J x 21 ET33)

It will fit. I bought the 22" wheels offerred on the G63 and put them on my 2020 G550. When I did my research I learned that the bolt pattern of 5 x 130 is the same on all G wagons, even older ones from years ago.

I purchased them online from a UK seller. They were great to work with and the time I was looking which was 2018 as I was waiting for hte G550 to come in, no dealer could source them nor the tires either. This company has a Germany division and got me the wheels and tires including TPMS (original MB) all balanced delivered to my door. At that time I saved about 35% in costs if I could get even get them in the US. You can chat with them or they will call you directly. Here is the their website

Bob Z., now you got me. That's a little too technical for me. Tony at alloy wheels direct was very informative and could easily answer your question or anything else about the wheels.

Keep in mind the G550 wheel you show is 20 inches in diameter by 8 inches wide. The 21 inch wheel meant for the G63 you like not only has a larger diameter, but even more importantly, it is a full 2 inches wider (10 vs/ 8). This means you will have to modify the wheel mounting hardware on your new G550 by using appropriate spacers and offsets. This opens up a big can of worms that can cause serious drivability and steering problems to no end. You’re buying a $170k+ car that will have to be modified to work properly with wheels not optionable on the G550 in the G550 DOG. This can cause horrible issues smack dab where it will introduce a lot of serious drivability issues, unless you get the offset mods just right. This exact situation causes a plethora of posts on forums like this, with the owner pulling their hair out trying to get their mechanic to get it right. Seriously, if you love the 21 or 22 inch wheels a lot, the G63 can be had for not that much over the cost of a really well equipped G550. Modding wheels and bigger tires on a car should be left to kids trying to make their Jeep Wranglers into awesome mall crawlers. I see a lot of really old G’s essentially at the end of their useful life with ginormous tires that clearly will scrape the insides of the wheel wells if they drove their modded car over a baseball bat. Don’t wreck such a nice beautiful new car with wheel mods. It’s a shame. JM2C, IMHO, and YMMV.

The offsets are very close so I do not see a problem, and many G550 owners have put G63 wheels on without problems. I have a set of G633 22" Cross-Spokes that will be going on mine and the 20" Black wheels are being sold:
And by the way, I ordered a G550 since I am very picky about what we wanted so I always order new vehicles. For example, the Zen wood steering wheel could not be ordered in the G63. Also, we did not want to wait a couple years to get one at MSRP....I refuse to pay a penny over sticker for anything.

I was always told to RTFM so here we are -
I am replacing the lugbolts so I started looking into this. It looks like the 2015 only had it up to 130Nm (or 96 ft-lb).

Looking to do the same thing, can you tell me what tire size you went with for the 22x10 (im assuming) and if they rub/ if ride quality is any different.

I used the tire size 295/40R22 which is what they come standard on the G63s with and no rubbing. Ride is bit harder not soft like the 19/20" wheels that came with the G550s. I used the OEM Pirelli Scorpion Zeros.
