will the gl wheels fit a w164 ml? is the offset the same or close to ml? thanks

 

GL wheels are wider and have different offsets.

GL and ML use different tire sizes.

The Mercedes wheel catalog does not indicate they consider them interchangeable.

 

yes, they fit. i have the gl 19" 5 spoke ones on my 07 ml500 the front tires will stick out just a bit since they are 275's

you can use the stock bolts off your 19" rims. if you have 17 or 18" you need to get new bolts.

i'll be selling mine after the tires need replacing

 

i thought the offset was only about a 1/4 to 1/2" further out. please post pictures if you can with the gl wheels. i want to go from 18 ml to 19 gl wheels. thanks

 

i updated my first post. those are the only pictures i have at the moment on my computer. won't be able to get you any other pictures for awhile as well since my brother in law has it on his cross country trip.

btw, i should have clarified. the gl wheel offset still sit inside the fender area of the ml. it is only the size of the tires being 275 that make it stick out a very little.

if you were to do down to a 255 or 265 tire, i'm sure it would sit flush. also don't forget you need long bolts if you are going from 18 to 19

 

If I recall correctly the offset is the same. The tire size is a tad larger which causes the poke. Long story short -- they fit. Go for it.

 

According to the MB wheel accessory guide the
ML 19" factory wheels are 19x8 et 60
ML 17" factory wheels are 17x7.5 et 56
