I just placed an order for some 550 wheels. And want to know if I need spacers to run on my truck?.Any help or input is appreciated thanks

 

After some searching I found out I can run without spacers.the truck will just look a little more aggressive,but shouldn't be a issue. Also with the spacers on you would definitely have to do the fender flares because it would be more wider and the wheels would stick out a lot.What I understand.

 

Good luck !

 

I run a set of 550 offset spec'd OZ wheels on my 450.

No spacers, no issues, no worries.

 

guess no one is going to help me it's okay after I put the wheels on I'll post pics and show everyone.

 

Are these OEM 550 rims ~ $5k for all 4? Or knock-offs for $1200??

 

I have powder coated OEM 21" 550 wheels on my 450. No spacers and they look fine, offset is a bit wider but not overly aggressive.

 

That looks great!
I was wondering if the stock GL550 wheels & rims would fit on my GL350 and now I'm wondering if the GL63 is the same offset and will those work too??

 

X164 GL550 Wheels

Older Generation AMG wheels on X166.
I found that Tires and wheels were a challenge with a learning curve (as with most things MB) when there is short supply of OEM and little tire choice with 21s, especially for winter. Sounds like everyone likes the Michelin Product; I was going to buy some Continental UHPs and have a "meatier" set for winter with the Pirelli P zeros reserved for summer (which are a flatter tread design in my estimation and useless on ice and snow esp. when they get worn a bit). So I bought myself a set of the Borbet wheel from the GL550 X164. This is Part Number A1644017002. Really expensive to buy anything resembling new; they are a bit curb scraped but fine for winter and still (in my opinion) look pretty good. The overall objective was to preserve my twin 5 spokes that came on my X 166. By the way in my travels I found the other 5 spoke Spec Wheel with the offset knife blade looking thing (only an option for the GL63) in the X166 generation was quite rarely seen. Happy travels.

 

The GL 63 and GL 550 X166 have the exact same wheels unless the buyer ordered a different option. I'm selling a near perfect set of OEM 21" 550 wheels from a X166 550 - with 90" tread continentals - check my thread
