Expert Buying Guide for 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
For your 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the 5x130 bolt pattern is shared with all G-Classes from 2002-2024, ensuring broad wheel compatibility. However, the 84.1mm center bore is critical: aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore, requiring hub-centric rings to prevent vibration and ensure proper load distribution. The factory offset is 63mm; deviations beyond ±10mm may cause rubbing or clearance issues. Always use lug nuts with the correct thread pitch (14x1.50) and seat type (ball seat for OEM wheels, cone seat for many aftermarket). Improper lug nuts can lead to wheel detachment. Re-torque after 50-100 miles.
