I found this thread because I’m interested in doing the exact same thing to my G63 and I was curious if anyone has done it.

I want to fit 18” wheels, so I can run real off road tires (and I see no reason to run trash can lid front brakes and 22’s).

Interested in your factory wheels when you make the switch. Lmk.

Thanks in advance.
FYI, my dealer (Mercedes Benz Littleton) told me it's not possible to fit G550 brakes on a G63. Different mounting points for stuff and whatnot. They said they've attempted it before and it's not really doable without putting a G550 axle on. But, for fitting 18" wheels, I have it on good authority that these 18's will clear G63 brakes https://alphaequipt.com/products/ac1...39681410596963

I don't have factory wheels, but they are nice after-market 22's with brand new Kumho tires - are you interested in the set of 4? I'm in Centennial, CO, let me know.
