Great looking Niche wheels. Did you need to get new lug bolts or did your OEM Mercedes lug bolts work with these wheels?

I used OEM black lug nuts .... Can't remember what car they are off if... The lugs that came with the car are to long for the ADV wheels.

I had to get longer gorilla lug nuts because the stock ones were too short

How far do your tire treads stick out past you wheel arches? I just bought a set of Niche wheels in 22x10 ET45 and trying to decide between Yokohama Parada Spec X in 285/40/22 and your size in 305/40/22.

any of those size should be fine, your offset is 45 while mine is 38 so your wheels should be more inside the wheel well

Thanks for reconfirming. Ended up going with 285/40/22 Yokohama Parada Spec X. Had good luck with these before with no rubbing.

Tires are on backorder to the end of the month. Took a couple of pics of the wheels next to the truck to see how they were going to look.

Found it interesting that there are two holes in the rim for TPMS sensors or valve stems. I have not seen that before. How did they mount the TPMS and valve stem on your Niche wheels on your GL450?
