Hi there guys,

I have been offered a set of genuine (i'm told) AMG wheels from an S class. The wheels measure 18"x9" and have a Et of 52. I was thinking of putting some ML type reinforced tyres on them for the G I evetually buy.

I'll run offroad tyres when laning.

Will these wheels (no tyres) fit a LWB G wagen??
The wheels have AMG on the spokes and made in Belguim on the inside spokes. Are these AMG wheels? They weigh quite a lot.

I have yet to buy a G but the deal on these wheels is really good.

Cheers

Alam

I'm sure someone else will pipe in but I think the only other MB rims that will fit are from the sprinter and then I think you need to modify the offset or something or other.....

This is correct.

Before you spend any cash on wheels, check Harald Pietschmann's fabulous compilation of GWagen wheels:

Yeah I hear you Dad. Your always right. ;)

This guy at a tyre fitting place just made me a crazy offer so I was just asking fella :)

I'm looking a two G's this weekend and based on that I am going to think hard about the standard of G i can get and if I need to wait and up my budget.

18x9ET52 would be the AMG I for the 163 (1st gen ML Class). Highly unlikley they would have been used on a 220 (S Class) but it's technically possible.
All passenger car MB vehicles are 5x112 PCD, and since the 460/463 (G Class) is 5x130, there is a basic incompatibility with the wheels you are considering, which probably isn't worth overcoming.
The deal on the wheels should be outstanding - like £100+VAT each - there are huge quantities of them on the market at the moment for various reasons.
There are also a large number of Lorinser RS3 18x10ET55 G Class wheels available at a huge discount.

Alam,

I suggest before you purchase any rims look over Harald's website concerning Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen wheels.
