OEM GL X164 Rims on a ML 166

Hi there.

I bought some OEM 18" W164 ML rims with winter tires from a 2008 CDI and tried to mount them on my 2013 W166 Bluetec (currently OEM 19"'s) didn't clear the caliper - it would rub. Everything I read says it would work. Nonetheless, I'll need to see these.

Would 19" OEM GL X164 rims work? It only make sense. For some reason, there are a lot of OEM GL rims where I live, not may ML's used.

Thanks,
Jimmy

If you have the AMG sport appearance package it will not fit. Smallest is 19" as the front calipers and rotors are big.

2013 (W166) ML350 Bluetec

Is there a perfect accurate 18" fit for 2013 W166 Bluetec

Same issue with me. Where I live I cant find any W166 rims. Most are 18" . Will 18" not fit inspite of all matches : Width (mostly common 18 x 8.5J), bolt pattern (which is common 5 x 112), Offset and center bore, ? Can we downsize for W166 to 18" (only for winters)
