Why do you suggest this for spacers, Im about to fit H&R on my GLS63 AMG
I don't see any reason to. Spacers shouldn't cause any radial run-out issues especially if the are hub-centric. Shouldn't have any axial run-out issues either with quality spacers and good cleaning of hub and wheel mount surfaces.
Was considering spacers too. Just got a new set of 22x10.5 wheels, and they're nice and flush, bit of poke. Problem solved.
Also, big rig has wider footprint , hence more stable and planted than before.

chirboiz,
I really really wanted to squeeze a 285 45 22 in there, but it isn't possible. Maybe a 295 40 22 tire will not rub and beef up a bit, but that's it. X166 has smaller wheel wells than x167( yes, i measured them).
nonetheless, big rig drives/feels proper now on wider footstance/print.
Toyos are awesome!!

What is the wheel spec of the TSWs? Also what tire size you used? Can you post pictures from the front and rear showing how flush it is on the fenders. Thanks.
But wait! Now on Lexani Lx30 305 40 22. Mo'meat! They did Allright on light snow, surprisingly, though not legit (they have M+S mark) Winter Tires. Excellent otherwise.
cheers,

In this last pic the car seems to sit much lower than the previous "shiny and clean" pics above...? How so?
I absolutely love the way it looks by the way! Diesel prices in the UK have gone through the roof since the war in Ukraine started - we're at around £1.73 per litre and as high as £1.97 in some locations, so my GLS350 days could well be numbered. If i do keep it into the summer I'm gonna switch to 22s.

I am ordering new wheels too, looking for a flush look... what is your wheels ET number?
Got it!
One last question does GLS450/550 have same body width as 63AMG? I am ordering custom made forged wheels, no refund, so gotta double check on every spec make sure it will be the look I am looking for
Thanks!!
