Would 24 inch GFG Falluja Wheels fit GL 550

Does anyone know if 24 inch GFG wheels with TOYO 295/30 x 24 tires will fit a 2008 GL 550 with no modifications to the brakes or suspension components.

Yes they will fit with no mods to the IFS as that tire is only 31" tall which is very close to stock. Obviously it will clear the brakes too.

I would not recommend that big of a rim for various reasons, however.

your stock tire is 785 mm overall diameter

the toyo is 787mm..good size

just have them custom make the rims the same width and offset as your factory 21's and you should be fine. (these are custom rims from what I see)

you could even push the offset out 5mm more for a more aggressive fit...meaning if stock rims are a +37 then go +32 to push the rims out 5 more mm.

Brakes

If u decide to do the wheels the weight of the wheels will affect the braking distance. I have a brand new set of brembo gran turismo brakes front and rear I am selling for just over half of retail.. Asking 5000.00
