Matte Black G63 on ADV1 Wheels - All Terrains
Discussed the "offroad" tire look here a few months ago. Pulled the trigger on ADV1's with an all terrain tire.
My thanks to the folks at ADV1 for the help and to www.andrewgoodmanstudios.com for the very well done pictures. I'll post a few here for your feedback.

Thank you, much appreciated!
They are 20x10 ADV6mv2 wheels. We went with 20x10's on all four corners. Given the all terrain tire, I was surprised how little the ride actually changed and it's getting tons of compliments on its tougher look.
Granted I have never tried to push this truck through the corners and never intend to try to find the speed limiter...intentionally.

According to my research, the stock tire diameter is 30.9, the Nitto Terra Grappler I put on is a 305/50r20 and measures 32.09, so only about an inch difference. I haven't noticed a difference on the speedo.
I'm guessing that this 305/50r20 would not fit on the stockers without rubbing, but it looks like they may have a 265, 275 and perhaps the 285 that might work. I think the stock tire width is 11.2", so anything at or under that should theoretically fit. I do not know how much wiggle-room there is after 11.2.
Here's the links to the tire as requested: http://www.nittotire.com/tire/terragrappler#size

Thanks all! Contrary to the more aggressive look, I have no plans to go off-roading. She's still being washed and dried meticulously and has the "new car" smell. Off roading it now would bring a tear to my eye.
It could be an eventuality though...

Badass - given the G apparently has such intrusive ESC, do you even feel the handling loss with those all terrain tires? How about road noise increase - I have the same tires on my 1997 LX 450 and they might be quieter than the 22s on my 14 RR?

I appreciate the notes...
There is no rubbing with this set-up. It seems ADV1 does a good job with the offsets. They have the secret sauce.
Road noise is surprisingly non-existent. I was shocked how quiet it was and still hardly believe it. The ESC doesn't seem to interfere and I admittedly don't use cruise control, but I would expect that to impact it. I hadn't thought of that.
A fifth wheel/tire on back would look great, that thought never even crossed my mind. I'll have to start saving!

You've GOT to ditch the chrome brush guard, paint it or plasti dip it satin black. It takes away from the badass military futuristic look you've got going on everywhere else on that phenomenal truck!

Sounds great, please post some pics of the set-up once you have it. I look forward to checking it out. Are you going with a Nitto Terra Grappler or something else?
Per the other question about the chrome brush guard, I had planned to paint or wrap it, but I went with the exposed hardware on the wheels and although I don't particularly care for chrome it ties in nice with the wheels.

Got the Nitto Terra Grappler tires also, will post pictures as David promised me a photo shoot at the shop after installing wheels and tires . Got a question, did you do wheel alignment after installing the wheel tire combo on your G?

Thanks again all. I appreciate the comments.
Answering questions, the handling difference is hardly noticeable, but I didn't have much seat time before the switch.
I considering altering the bull bar to black, but I ended up with chrome lug bolts (not by choice, as I wanted black) and purchased plastic covers for them. Ironically, because the wheels have the exposed stainless hardware, the chrome lug bolts actually looked right. Then with the chrome lugs and stainless wheel hardware, the chrome bull bar didn't look too bad and it all seems to fit together.
No spacers were needed, the kind folks at ADV1 had the wheels spec'd perfectly. The big issue for me was the 3 week long search for lug bolts and even then I couldn't find black and had to get the chrome, which just happened to accidentally work out.
