Rim compatibility

Hello -

Recently acquired a 2017 G550. I am interested in changing the wheels; it is currently the 19 inch AMG 5 spoke wheels (9,5J x19 ET 50, 275/55/R19), and I was interested in switching to the 20 inch trail edition wheels from the W463A G63 (9,5J x 20 ET 35, 275/50/R20). Does anyone know if these wheels are compatible? Based on measurements it looks like it would be but wanted to see if anyone has experience with this specifically or anything to look out for.

Do not have experience doing this myself, however based upon my research of wheel and tire compatibility- Yes, you can move to a 20" wheel set up

Those wheels should fit. The bolt pattern is the same. The main difference is the offset the new wheels (ET 35) will sit about 15mm further out than your current ones (ET 50). That's fine; you won't have any rubbing issues. Your speedometer will be off by about 1 mph, but you likely won't even notice.

I went from 18 to 20 AMGs. Made a huge difference in the looks.

I would love to know why MB went with 19's. Maddening
