Wide body

Does anyone know anything about the wide body for ml? Is it just an insert?

Are you talking about the sport package fender flares? They're available from the parts counter at the dealer, but, you'll have to have them painted to match your vehicle.

I don't mean the fender flares....

I believe there are some products, like insersts, can be put on before the rims, which extended the length of the axle, but I don't know are those kind of stuff is safe or not. That's why I wanted to know whether any of you guys have those things on, or know anything about.

I wouldn't recommend wheel spacers on a ML, but then that's a personal choice, I suppose. I can't imagine any benefit other than looks, which is subjective, obviously.
