The Mercedes GL and GLS Class W166/X166 are large luxury SUVs with high towing capacity, permanent 4Matic drive, optional air suspension, and extremely high axle loads.
Due to the large brake systems, heavy SUV body, and powerful engine variants, these vehicles require particularly robust and precisely tuned summer complete wheels that ensure stability, safety, and efficiency in summer.
Reifenshop Landshut exclusively offers wheel sets that are 100% compatible with all W166/X166 versions.

🔧 Why the GL/GLS-Class W166/X166 requires special summer complete wheels
1. Very high wheel & axle loads
This large SUV platform carries extreme loads:
-
heavy bodywork
-
high towing capacity
-
reinforced axle bodies
→ Summer rims must be load-tested.
2. Large brake systems, especially for V6/V8 & AMG-Line
Typical SUV brake systems:
-
wide calipers
-
large disc diameters
-
narrow inner well areas
→ Only brake-approved rims fit safely.
3. 4Matic requires identical rolling circumference
Essential for all W166/X166 models:
→ protects transfer case & differentials.
4. Summer tires must compensate for high weight & speed
A GL/GLS often drives:
Summer tires must offer:
-
strong lateral guidance
-
low rolling resistance
-
stable carcass structure
-
good heat dissipation
→ improves driving stability & safety.
5. Wide wheel arch contours & SUV offset (ET) values
The W166/X166 has:
-
large fender flares
-
wide track
-
long suspension travel
→ exact ET values are indispensable.
