Thanks. They are OEM. The OEM tips, valence, and diffuser ran me $950.00. I know a bit much however, I wanted all OEM parts since my vehicle is on a lease.
The install ran $200.00 and took about 2 hours. The bumper had to be removed.
Can you share the OEM part numbers if you have them? Did you purchase them from a dealer? Did they have to special order them for you? If so, how long did it take to get the parts in?

He has all OEM parts from the European cluster to the European Full LED headlights with the welcome LED lights. He has an ebay site. Very quick shipping also. I have purchased all of my additions from him including back when i had my CLA. Highly recommended. Let me know I recommended him.
Anyone know if it's possible to fit 9.5's up front? ET40.
I have a line on some 20's that I really want to get but they're 9.5" all around and I'm not sure if we can fit that wide of a wheel up front.
hmmm, i doubt it. Unless your willing to have it stick out. At 40 offset you have to add spacers to clear the control arm. I have 8.5" and a cardboard thin clearance on the control arm, and just a little lined up with the fender line. So, an inch more and you'll have poke. It might also rub into the fender liners once you turn the wheel left or right.
Yes, a lot of test fitting back then. The fronts were the initial problem. Finally, i think +30-32, was where everyone were for the fronts. The rear was more forgiving.
Anyways, here you go. 'Hope this helps.
Fronts: 20x8.5 offset: +32; 245/30 20
Rears: 20x10 offset: +55; 275/30 20
Gorgeous car. They come with the 19" and black accents as common. Not a bad choice to me. Besides looks any advantage to 20" wheels on daily drives?

Thanks for the compliment, and sorry for the late reply. Besides looks I don't see any advantages at all, hahaha! You'll probably even get a better ride aside from being able to fit meatier tires on 19's. But, i'm not complaining. On sport+, the ride is stiffer. In comfort mode, I didn't notice a difference at all. Still very smooth... its probably because i'm on non-runflat tires now. And with stock suspension on runflats, those tires are just hard as bricks.
Any problems with rubbing or having the wheel hit the suspension on hard bumps?
with the right offsets, no rubbing at all. The wheel and suspension clearance is static so it doesn't hit anything. If you're asking if it bottoms out, I haven't had that happen to me at all. I did go over a speed bump once, in comfort mode and the exhaust just hit or scraped the speed bump very lightly... as in very lightly. I guess i would have been better off in sport+, then it probably wouldn't have rebounded that low.
I'm pretty sure I would not be able to tolerate 20s on this car without installing air suspension. It's rough as hell on 19s and changing out the runflats only makes a small improvement to overall comfort.
If I were to do it over again I'd run it on 18's instead of the 19'' split spokes.

that's what i thought too... until i got the parts installed and the suspension seated. What state are you in? If you're in the LA area, i would offer to give you a test ride. Considering i have the performance seats as well, I don't find the ride harsh at all.

I was just down there visiting my wife's family. We took the GLC43 down because we had the dog with us. It drives a lot smoother than the sedan due to the air suspension. We're up in Portland and our roads here positively suck compared to yours. Driving in Portland is like driving in a 3rd world country. Crazy deep potholes and ruts are everywhere. I was lucky that my wife only destroyed one tire so far this year.

Your car looks sweet! I've got a simlar beast but with the black and chrome rims.
What did you spend to get red calipers? And are they AMG?
I have lowered my C450 estate with coilovers KW Variant 3, and placed wheels Ispiri FFR6 with sizes 8,5jx20 ET 42 and 10jx20 ET 45. Tyres 235/35/20 and 275/30/20 Yokohama Advan Sport. In the front i had to place 12mm spacers for clearance of suspension arm.
I'm very satisfied with the way it looks, and the way it drives. The only issue is the wheels touch the front fender a little bit, so it's a little deformed, not worse. Does anyone else have this issue?

Looks good, Congratulations! since you have coilovers, aren't you able to adjust it a tad bit to avoid hitting or rubbing against the fenders?

What can i do? Make the suspension stiffer with less bound/rebound. Actually, i don't want to change the settings, because they are advised by KW. I don't want the suspension be any stiffer.

i have no personal experience with coilovers. Only from what i've read and seen from others that have them. But, isn't that one of the advantages coilovers have? Can't you adjust the height without changing the stiffness? Are you hitting the metal fender itself or just the inner liner?
