Finally I got the perfect stance for the GLB. With OEM AMG 21" wheels and 12mm spacers. FYI when you use 12mm spacers you need 40mm bolts as the factory ones are 28mm.

It's FLUSH baby all around. Only thing I changed was the centre cap. Went with traditional caps over the massive medallion that come from the factory. IMHO they pop out to much and take away depth from the looks of them.

Also added the Brabus rear wing and front lip in gloss black.

 

And no coming from the AMG 19's the ride feels exactly the same. They are not harsher at all.

 

What tires and how are they on the road conditions in your photos?

 

how come? it's 2 inches larger...

the factory GLB35 came with 21 inch wheels they have spaces as well?

 

lol I live just out of Toronto. Had a bad and crazy year. That little snow though that you see from Friday is all gone today while I swapped out full summers on my SRT and ML550.

So I couldn’t really test them in the snow. Or those light conditions. I went with Atturo AZ810’s. They are an all weather tire.

 

I just didn’t feel any difference. What can I say.

These are GLB35 rims. I also added the spacers to make it perfectly flush. No they do t come with spacers from the factory on the GLB35.

 

That's awesome, looks so good! I do love the black GLB. I have the 21" wheels as well and I put on 12mm spacers in front and 15mm in back ... and I'd 'still' like the rears pushed out more! Just had to replace the stock tires with new so went from 255 to 265 and kept the spacers, as well. Experimenting!

 

I think GLBs need 25 mm spacers with the OEM wheels to make them flush.
My winter wheels are 25/30mm wider than stock front/back and I'm planning on going even wider when I order new summer wheels.
Keep in mind my car is lowered >>> camber increases >>> wheels tuck a bit more than stock, so I need a few more mm to make it flush, but without lowering 25mm is just perfect. Maybe 20mm on the front and 25mm in the back if you want to give the car bit more aggressive look.

Just curious -- when you install spacers 25mm thick, do you use longer lug bolts or do you go the adapter route with a first set of flush bolts to attach the spacer to the hub and the original lug bolts to attach the wheel to the spacer?

 

Both are possible, but when you go above 20mm it's better to use adapter style spacers. They distribute the forces more evenly.

 

Thanks -- that's the way I would do it also.

 

With 20/25mm spacers on the OEM GLB35 AMG wheels expect them to stick outside the fender line. With stock ride and now induced camber from lowering.
