Mercedes G Class wheel fitment — G-Class 465
Overview
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, also known colloquially as the G-Wagon or G-Wagen (abbreviation of Geländewagen), is a luxury SUV with military origins. It features boxy styling and body-on-frame construction, equipped with three fully locking differentials, making it one of the few passenger vehicles to have such capability. Despite the introduction of an intended replacement in 2006, the G-Class remains in production as one of Daimler's longest-running models. The second-generation W463 was introduced in 2018 with significant updates including a revised chassis, powertrain, body, and interior.

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 7.5J–10J | ET14–ET50 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8 to 10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
