2018 GLC 300
255/55 R18

I'm wondering if anyone has installed 255/55 R18 tires on their GLC 300 4Matic. If so, are there any clearance issues?

Thanks!

I would like to know also. I have been trying to find out if they’d fit. I’d like to run a all terrain in that size for winter.

What is rim size? It needs tire and rim size to check the clearance at least.

For R18, the width 255 is too wide for winter imo.

check the wheel size calculator online, it would tell if it has clearance issue

Old marketing material will have it.
I will try and see what I have.
Only issue will be if you have AMG pack that has bigger brake parts, where you need a different rim design for clearance.

The wheel-site site has rim size. I checked my stock 19 inches for 2020 GLC 300 (by looking at the back of the rim). The rim size is correct there: https://www.wheel-size.com/size/merc...c-300-eudm-245
It is 8Jx19 ET38
