Rim Offset for W166

Does anyone know what is the specs for the W166 rims?

My 2011 ML has the following:
Bolt Pattern: 5x112mm
Off set: +45mm

I've just fitted Winter tires and rims and would like to know if my Winter tires and rims would fit the W166 if I decided to upgrade when my lease is up.

Check pages 377-78 or the owner's manual. Approved winter tire wheel offsets run from 56-59mm. Bolt pattern should be the same, but not sure on hub diameter.

Thanks Greg.
Guess my rims won't work on the W166!

You could use 12mm hubcentric spacers.

Edit: Need to verify hub diameters are the same, but I doubt they changed. Would also require longer lug bolts.
