How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
The Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class's factory suspension tuning already accounts for a specific unsprung mass target. Forged construction lets ANKUSI match the factory strength spec while keeping rotational weight down, which is where the real handling benefit comes from on a taller, heavier SUV platform.
The Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class runs a 5x112 bolt pattern, 66.6mm center bore, and a 22x10.0J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 22x10.5J ET40, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 23x11.0J ET35 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class OE Wheel Specs
The 2006 Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class (SUV) uses a 5x112 bolt pattern with a 66.6mm center bore. Factory wheels are 22x10.0J F/R.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Preserves the factory-tuned ride and steering feel
- A mainstream size for this segment, keeping tire choice wide and prices reasonable
- Leaves full clearance for the stock brakes and suspension hardware
- Keeps handling predictable and consistent in everyday conditions
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class (2006) we drill the 5x112 pattern and cut the centre bore to 66.6mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.

Flush Fitment
For a flush look with minimal rubbing, F/R 22x10.5J ET40 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
F/R 23x11.0J ET35 is a more aggressive reference setup. Beyond this, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.

Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 22x10.0J ET45 → ~7.27″ backspacing
- Flush: 22x10.5J ET40 → ~7.32″ backspacing
- Max: 23x11.0J ET35 → ~7.38″ backspacing
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact Carlsson Mercedes-Benz spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Custom Forged Wheels for the Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class (2006)
Everything above is reference data. If you want wheels actually built to it, that is what ANKUSI does: we are a forged wheel factory in Guangzhou, China, IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 certified, forging on our own 10,000-ton press and producing over 120,000 wheels a year. Forging blank, CNC machining, finishing, coating and inspection all happen in the same building — nothing is subcontracted and nothing is relabelled from another manufacturer.
Every set is cut to order, so the 5x112 pattern and the 66.6mm centre bore are machined for this car specifically rather than shimmed with adaptor rings. Diameter, width, offset, concavity, monoblock or multi-piece construction and the finish are all yours to choose — most Carlsson Mercedes-Benz orders on this platform land somewhere between the 22x10.5J ET40 flush setup and the 23x11.0J ET35 aggressive setup referenced above.

What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class use?
The 2006 Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class uses a 5x112 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class use?
The Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x112), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class?
The Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class's center bore is 66.6mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class?
Factory wheels on the Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class are 22x10.0J F/R.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 23x11.0J at ET35 offset. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 22x10.5J at ET40 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 7.32" of backspacing.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class?
The Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class runs the same wheel size front and rear from the factory, so staggered fitment is not required. ANKUSI can still forge a staggered set (wider rear) on request if you want a more aggressive stance.
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class (5x112, 66.6 mm Bore)
In our database, 820 other vehicle entries from 21 makes use exactly the same 5x112 bolt pattern and 66.6 mm center bore. Factory wheels from these cars bolt on and center on the hub without rings; offset and width still have to be checked.
5x112 is used by 21.9% of the vehicle entries in our database (1,403 of 6,396); 58.6% of those also use a 66.6 mm center bore.
Carlsson Mercedes-Benz M-Class: Specs by Model Year
| Year | Bolt pattern | Center bore | Factory wheel |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000 | 5x112 | 66.6 mm | 19x8.5J |
| 2006 | 5x112 | 66.6 mm | 22x10J |
Bolt pattern and center bore stay the same across all 2 model years in our database (2000–2006).
Hub-Centric Rings for a 66.6 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 66.6 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 67.1 mm | 67.1 → 66.6 mm |
| 70.1 mm | 70.1 → 66.6 mm |
| 70.5 mm | 70.5 → 66.6 mm |
| 71.6 mm | 71.6 → 66.6 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 66.6 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 66.6 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
