Will these rims fit my 2014 GLK-350
I'm almost 100 percent sure these rims will not fit mine due to the offset but if anybody really knows for sure please click on the following link and let me know

And, just for the record, the center bore cannot be 60.6 mm if he had them on that Audi in the pic as both MB and B8 and newer Audis use 66.6 mm (I am sure it's just a typo by the seller).
P.S. Another thing to keep in mind is that your GLK weighs some 1000 lbs more than that A5 - and not all rims are created equal and can carry the same load. I have an absolutely pristine set of forged BBS RS-GTs from my old Audi that fit and bolt on perfectly, but unfortunately they are rated at 675kg maximum per wheel, and I wouldn't take the chance on the GLK.

Diablolis,good catch IRT the 10.5" and yes I really need to think about GVW I really want to find the exact AMG rims that comes with the AMG appearance package. I know one firm that does AMG knock off rims for about 50% the cost of the real thing. I'll see if I can find a link for that

Technically speaking, the offset is not the problem. The fronts will probably fit fine. It's the rear rim width (10.5") that would stick out about 1.5" past the fenders. An 8.5" wide ET35 rim sits perfectly flush with the fenders on the GLK both front and rear.

With an 8.5" wide rim and a 235 tire you can't go higher than ET48 in the front before you rub against the shocks / struts. You may be able to squeeze in 9" rims and run 255s in the front, but you'd need to lower the offset accordingly (so around ET35) and they will poke out past the fenders a little (rubbing against the fenders is obviously not an issue on the GLK unless you're lowered). If you don't have a 4Matic and can run different tire sizes, you can easily run 9s at the rear, but with an ET around 55 (there is plenty of room in the back). Alternatively, if you don't mind your wheels poking out past the fenders and sand / salt-blasting the paint on your car, you can go as wide as you want - for as long as you get the offsets right.

On local Craigslist https://sandiego.craigslist.org/ssd/pts/5015874177.html
The only problem is they are chromed and may be dinged and if so they will get worse. These rims were made by MB for GLK and S series sedans.
S series sedan offset
255/35 R20 / 275/35 R20
9.5Jx20 ET37 / 10Jx20 ET37
5x112
GLK offset

9Jx20 ET45

Seller finally returned my calls. They are all 8.5 inch so that means it came off a 2008 to 2010 GLK-350.
I'll be see offset and everything else will be the same, these will work.

Very nice! Never realized just how nice the OEMs can look chromed if you already have all the chrome trim on the car.
