W166 ML63 rims offset

Hi AMG fans,

Can you please confirm to me the exact specs of the W166 ML63 - 21 INCH rims?

Is it 9 x 21 ET53 and with 295-35-21 tires?

Otherwise I can't order my HRE rims :-(
Thanks so much

Better Check your owners manual. It contains all the tyre / wheel combinations. For summer tyres, this is what is stated:

R 20

Tyres BA: 265/45 ZR 20 108 Y XL

Light-alloy wheels BA: 9.0 J x 20 H2 ET 41

R 21

Tyres BA: 295/35 ZR 21 107 Y XL

Light-alloy wheels BA: 10.0 J x 21 H2 ET 56

I do not know if the same applies to Switzerland, but EU market vehicles also come with a compliance certificate which includes the details of the Wheel/Tyre combination fitted to the actual vehicle.

I can confirm, that my ML63 from factory had
21 x 10"- ET46.
I recently changed them, and can confirm this 100%.
See my other post in the forum, for pics of my new rims, with 22x10 ET35. Looks perfect.

I think this may be for the MLxxx Sport/ AMG package. Not the ACTUAL AMG vehicles. 56 offset would make the wheels sit "too far in" for a genuine AMG vehicle.

ML63 AMG was the flared wheel arches, whereas an ML AMG Sport Package doesnt.

Hence a GENUINE ML63, has 46 offset wheels (like mine did), to fill out the flared wheel arches.

Just a thought.

Are you using spacer with your HRE? If so just ask HRE to do a F2 fittment and use the spacers to compensate the extra width of the fenders
