Has anybody put 20 x 9.5” wheels on a 2017-19 GLS 450 before? I just did and now I am not sure...

What you are asking has no meaning without the wheel offset.

They may stick out a bit in the front. Is that the issue?

You need 10" wide x ET 50. That will give you a flush look. They must be off a X166 ML/GLE AMG? The X166 AMG wheels are 21" or 22".
