Back Again!

Hey everone! I'm back again with another W163. I had a ML500 sold it, got a H2.. still have it, but now picked up a ML 320 for the wife. Anyways, from the first ML we had, our warranty expired and was pretty expensive to maintain.
This time around, we got full coverage warranty and hope to not have any problems! Anyways, I'm back again for another round.

Why stagger? Its AWD so you're only gaining more weight not more traction.

They will fit, but I agree with Marshall. Staggered wheels is only look good and serve more of a purpose on a RWD cars. I have 4 20x8.5s on mine. Also I recommend running wider tires like 295s. I used to have 295s but when it came time for my second set of tires they only had 275s. I hate them. The truck doesn't have the same wide stance it used to have.

thanks for the input. Did you drop your truck at all? And, what kind of tires did you go with?

No prob. I never dropped it because I didn't see the need. For two reasons, since i was running slightly bigger tires the gap wasn't that bad and the fact that it was a SUV. There was enough meat on the tires to still hop up any curb, run over any pothole, or take it "off road". Haha I am referring to the handful of times I drove it in the country up hills, dirt roads and mud puddles. I think I was running Goodyear Eagles 295/40/R20 and now I am running Nitto 275/45/R20.
