Summer complete wheel sets for Mercedes GL / GL-Class X164 W164

The Mercedes GL-Class X164 and the W164 models based on the same architecture are among the first generation of large premium SUVs.
With a 7-seater option, heavy diesel and petrol engines, massive brake systems, high ground clearance, and permanent 4Matic all-wheel drive, these vehicles technically require particularly robust summer complete wheels that ensure load capacity, stability, and off-road durability.

The vehicle weight, long suspension travel, powerful engines, and high axle load make precisely tuned rims and tires absolutely necessary.

🔧 Why the Mercedes GL-Class X164 / W164 needs special summer complete wheels

1. Very high axle loads & vehicle weight

The X164/W164 platform is significantly heavier than normal SUVs:

• high wheel loads front/rear

• reinforced axle bodies

• more pressure on rim structure

→ Load-tested rims are essential.

2. Large SUV brake systems

GL models have:

• wide brake calipers

• large brake discs

• tight inner rim bed clearances

→ Only brake-clearance-tested rims fit securely.

3. 4Matic requires exact rolling circumference

Important for all GL/W164 models:

• identical tire circumferences

• OEM-compliant tire sizes

• uniform tread depths

→ protects the transfer case & differentials.

4. Summer tires must combine on-road & off-road driving

The GL X164 drives:

• a lot of highway & trailer operation

• light off-road passages

• high cornering loads due to high weight

Summer tires should offer:

• strong lateral guidance

• stable carcass structure

• optimized rolling resistance

→ Premium tires clearly have an advantage.

5. Exact offset values for wide SUV fenders

The X164 has:

• wide wheel arch liners

• SUV-specific track width

• long suspension travel

→ Deviations lead to rubbing or instability.
