The LETECH Spare Wheel Holder is designed for the Mercedes G 500 44, specifically for models equipped with 8-hole rims and compatible tire sizes. It provides a practical solution for carrying a fifth wheel externally, preserving valuable interior storage space. Finished with a durable KTL and powder coating, it is well-protected against harsh weather conditions for long-lasting use.
Easily mounted to the standard rear door, the LETECH holder distributes the spare wheels weight evenly between the tailgate and the hinge mounting points, maintaining the vehicles optimal off-road performance. The holder can swivel to the side for convenient access. Please note: installation requires a standard rear door, as the factory tailgate on the G 500 44 lacks the necessary attachment points and reinforcements.
FAQ:
Q: What vehicles will this fit?
A:
This part is only for vehicles with portal axles / 86.5 bolt pattern wheels. We have an adapter from 86.5 to 5130, so technically, you could use it on any G-class with a 5130 spare.
Q: What tire size is it made for?
A:
It is designed the G550 44 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 44?
A:
Yes, but G550 44 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 44s 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.
