As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8–10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
Development of the G70 began in 2017 with design concepts from various global centers. The model was unveiled on April 20, 2022, during its 45th anniversary celebration. It marks a significant shift by introducing an electric variant (i7) alongside traditional ICE models and discontinuing the V12 engine in favor of plug-in hybrid options like M760e xDrive. The G70 underwent a facelift for the 2027 model year, featuring updated exterior styling and interior design elements.
