Replacing 19" wheel with 20" wheel
Hi,
What does it take to replace 19" wheel with 20" wheel? Let's say I have a 2012 GL450 with 20" wheel and a 2014 GL450 with 19" wheel, can I just simply swap them? Is there any special you need to do if you want to upgrade from 19" wheels to 20" wheels?

Thanks!

Going from 19 to 20 and back is ok, that's large enough to clear the brakes. I have 19" winter wheels and 20" summer wheels. 18" may be a problem depending on your brakes from what I've read.

Make sure that the tire size (sidewall) is appropriate for 20"
