Well the fun begins, time to start researching replacing the tires and rims that came with the new GLC, Tire rack does not have anything on the 2019 or even the 2018 yet, ( its surprising why nothing for the 2018....) Will most likely head right to a winter tire as its dropped into the 40's here already
There is some good room inside beside the calipers and rim so we should be good for a 60 tire at least ( cue the fireworks), if anyone else is thinking along the same lines, stay tuned...
Plenty of choices here in Europe for a "square" 235/55 R19 set up which is what MB recommend (for the GLC43).
I have Pirelli Scorpion on my winter set up which goes on in November.
Thanks for this are those the stock night rims that came with her? How is the ride difference with these on them??
No these are aftermarket wheels. I got lucky and came across a guy selling the set on kijiji. He bought them new in Jan/2018 and drove on them for 3 months before switching them off and eventually selling the car. Got them for $1,150.00/CAD for the set all in (with lugs).
I ordered the center hub insert in gloss black with the chrome MB star to swap out those blank ones.
The ride is great. Personally i dont really notice much difference between these and the stock run-flats on 20" wheels. Maybe I just dont have a fine nose for it though?
Here is what the stock AMG Night Package wheels look like - 20" staggered (the day I picked her up):
