21" wheels

Do you think the new 21” wheels from AMG, used on R63 can work for ML?

I assume they would work but the tyres have to go.

These wheels would look good on the ML, but they have different offsets. Not sure they will work.

The stock wheel in the US is an AMG Style VI, 10 x 20 ET46.

The R-Class wheel pictured is AMG Style III, 9 x 21 ET60 (front); 9 x 21 ET48 (rear).

I believe the new 08' GL550 comes with 21" AMG wheels as well. Though dont quote me on that and never assume I know what offsets are....I mean, I know what they are, but not on every wheel, I just...nevermind.

No Archaedus I think AMG is still constructing the GL63 AMG and I think it gets other 21" AMG Wheels you can see the pics here if you scroll down on the pricelist

Yep, those are the standard 21" wheels for the GL550 in the USA. Again, I have no idea if the GL and ML sport different offsets or if those would work, but it seems the R-Class's dont fit so it may be another option for you.

(I'd think that different tire sizes may be required though...?)

I don't see any concrete answer on whether the GL 550 AMG style wheels could fit on a ML 550 ( Currently have the 19in AMG style wheels but would like to upgrade to the 21's) ....could someone point me to the right direction please?? All I've read is the "possibility" of the offset being different, however would it fit and look good ???

Without having the car in front of me to measure, I can't say for sure but here's some ideas...
(This is assuming that the wheel specs posted above are correct)


On the FRONT:

AMG Style III, 21x9 ET60 will have 1mm less INNER clearance, and 27mm more OUTER clearance. A 25mm spacer and extended lug bolts would get the wheel almost back to stock track width.

On the REAR:

11mm more INNER clearance, 15mm more OUTER clearance.

The only issue I can see would be the brake calipers, but since you're going up an inch you'd probably be ok. In my opinion, you'll need some serious spacers to prevent it from looking "sunk in." H&R offers a ton of options, and we carry their whole line.
