Is 305/40/22 on a 22×10 wheel too wide for a 2018 GLC300 4MATIC
Looking at upgrading wheels and tires and came across a used set of wheels and tires 305/40/22 on 22x10 wheels. Not sure if they are too wide and would rub or cause other issues. Any thoughts out there? Currently running on 18s.

I have to say the price for the wheels and tires are being offered for is quite attractive. Would love to see someone who possibly have 22" wheels on their vehicle.

Yes, 305/40-22 tire is too wide for GLC300 and at 31.6" is way, way too tall by massive 2.5" (more suitable for GL/GLS). It absolutely won't fit.
285/35-22 (ML/GLE size) is probably the largest (widest and tallest at almost 29.9") tire that can be fitted.

If your reply, however, was to my "suggested" max tire size of 285/35-22 (assuming it can clear), then of course it will require correct offset wheel. To take it even further, IMHO anything over 20" (even if 43/63 with 21") is detrimental to 300's performance.

When quoting your reply, I was referring to Op's question of 305/40-22 tire because that's what I thought your reply was for, since you did not quote my "suggestion".

Then I stand by my original reply to your comment. While offset is always a consideration and is critical in some borderline fitments, the subject of the thread is 305/40-22 tire, which will never fit GLC, regardless of a wheel's its on. The end.
