🔧 Why GL/GLS W166/X166 need special complete winter wheel sets

1. Extreme axle loads

Full-size SUVs in this category often weigh over 2.5 tons.
Therefore, winter wheels must:

• meet high load capacities

• have reinforced rim structures

• use premium tires with strong sidewall profiles

2. 4MATIC Requirements

The permanent all-wheel drive system requires:

• identical rolling circumferences

• stable traction on snow & ice

• winter-optimized profiles for massive vehicle weight

3. Large braking systems

Especially with AMG Line, larger brake calipers are:

• larger brake calipers

• exact offset (ET)

• clear brake clearance

crucial.

4. 7-Seater / Long version X166

Increased rear axle loads → special rim and tire combinations.
