18 inch rims be upgraded to 19 or 20?
Just wondering if stock 18 rims can be upgraded down the road to 19 or 20. I went with 18 because of winter potholes in NY, but was thinking of getting another set for spring through fall. 18 have 245/45 tires.

I have a coworker who had 20 inch low profile tires on her MB, she was getting a flat tire every week in winter from potholes. Went to Mercedes and was told the tires couldn't be changed down to 18inch. This is why I want to make sure I can go up it I want.

Going up is no problem as long as you use the correct size wheels and tyres for the G30
On models with large brakes you cannot go smaller than a certain size. For example M Performance brakes need a minimum 19" wheel What Mercedes needs 20" Maybe 18" was to small for it but she can go 19"
