FAQ:
Q: What vehicles will this fit?
A: This part is only for vehicles with portal axles / 8×6.5” bolt pattern wheels. We have an adapter from 8×6.5 to 5×130, so technically, you could use it on any G-class with a 5×130 spare.
Q: What tire size is it made for?
A: It is designed the G550 4×4² wheel and tire, which has an overall diameter of 36.07″ (325/55R22). The cover will accommodate a 37″ tire.
Q: Can this spare tire carrier be installed on the G550 4×4²?
A: Yes, but G550 4×4² owners MUST purchase a standard G rear door (tailgate) — new or used tailgate from a G500/G55/G550/G63. It needs to have the holes for the standard G spare tire mount.
Q: So, buying a new G500 door is easier than drilling into the 4×4’s rear door and buying/installing the mounting plate or whatever is behind the sheetmetal?
A: For sure it will be easier to buy the door and paint since there is a whole sub-structure inside the door with the holes for the spare tire mount.
Q: Anything else we need to know about the install?
A: It will require drilling holes into the rear door hinges. The hinges are all the same on the W463. This set up uses two mounting points; the hinges and the stock mounting point. Average weight of a tire mounted on a beadlock wheel is 145 lbs.
