Wheel/tire combo for most side wall on AMG G63
Hey everybody, I have 2021 G 63 with the 22 inch AMG wheels. I’m looking for the smallest sized wheels and largest tires that will fit without any modifications. I want to take my G out on the soft sand on the East coast beaches and you really need to air down. With the current setup there I pretty much no side wall.
Are 20 inch wheels the smallest diameter that will fit? And what’s the largest all terrain tire I can fit without rubbing?
Thanks in advance!

I don't think anything smaller than 20" will clear the brake calipers. If you don't want to lift your truck you might clear a 305 series tire, but a 285/55 would be a safer bet. Wheel offset will play a roll to some extent. For sand I'd probably suggest the 285, and air down when you go offroad. Kind of a pain, but it will get you the best traction.

I’m happy to air down. Used to have a Jeep I’d take crawling/beaching so I’ve got tire deflators and a nice ARB portable compressor.

Clearance issue is when you turn the vehicle at full lock in either direction, will the tires rub against the plastic inner lining of the wheel well. Going straight you have more clearance of course. Rear tires are fine.
Height comes into play depending on your parking situation. OEM tires are 31.2 inches or so, so by going to 32.1 inches you are raising the height of the vehicle by half an inch or so, so be careful with some parking decks.
Mercedes has OEM 20" all-terrains (275/50/20 Pirelli Scorpion ATR) that go on the trail package, that may be a good starting point since those tires were selected by MB. Not as meaty as other options though.
To give you a sense of how tight the 32.1" tires are, refer to my pictures in the middle of this thread:
285/45/22

I love my 22” wheels but kills the capabilities of the truck. So I bought the 20” amg wheels an installed the bfg k02’s in 285/55R20. Couldn’t be happier…

you won’t fit 20”a on the front.
I really wish I could but sadly the brakes are huge.
no rubbing but very very tight.

I have the 20’s, it is the AMG wheel made for g63, it fits fine, and @krazyk86cu the 285x55R20 tires does not rub at all and it is a great tire with no road noise. I had them on my Raptor for years and I specifically bought these wheels to instal these tires. Highly recommend them

Those look great! Yes I’ve put my spare on a G63, plus the fact there are 20” oem options so they have to fit.
Would love to get AT tires on again, but since I’ve got a 2023 coming, I’m going to wait.

I ended up buying a set of the black OEM wheels that match my spare, but I’m just now realizing they are an 8.5 inch wide rim unlike yours, which is a 9.5 inch rim. Pretty sure I can still fit the K02s on the wheel, but they may not fit without spacers depending on the backspacing/offset difference.
Sorry to revive the dead, but it’s soon beach weather! Haha

Just wanted to check in. Still no rubbing with the 285/55/20 KO2's even when off roading? Did you need any spacers? Looks great!! @Ilksurfer

I have a question for those of you who have switched to plus sized tires.
Does the Spare Tire Ring still cover the larger 32" and/or 33" tires?
Thanks in advance!
