Speculation is that the wider track gives less rollover potential; and in the extremely litigious US society, it's called preventive action. | ||

Mick Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: A look under my 07 G before it gets dirty no Kerr, the gray is not wax, it`s just all gray painted under the car. the suspension from my 06 is gray too underneath. Dutch, interesting theory... but with 2 cm more widh the rims stand out of the fenders or not? i with my ET 63 don`t have a lot of space left. with 2 cm more widh the wheels would stand out clearly. but i can`t believe they also use other axles for overseas. | ||

clubgwagen.com Elite Veteran Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: gwagenpreserve.com Vehicle(s): 300GE Cabriolet Posts: 736 | Re: A look under my 07 G before it gets dirty I think the G55 also runs a wider tire 285/60/18 on a 9.5 inch rim width (which would stick out (and in)) on the sides more (wider flares) The G500 has a 7.5 inch wide wheel and runs a 265/60/18 Edited by clubgwagen.com 2/15/2007 10:45 PM | ||

US models have the same axles. I always thought something about the US Gs looked more aggressive but I couldn't quite place my finger on why. | ||

But its not just spacers - its a wider tire. I've got the wider axles on my G and it is still not the same.

Because I don't want a US spec G. If I did I would of bought one and for the amount of money G500s are changing hands I probably could of saved a few bob too. For me a LWB 2000 G300 TD is the perfect G in all aspects... well that plus a Cabrio... actually maybe a LWB G320 CDI... Edited by Maxwell Smart 2/16/2007 1:38 PM | ||
