GlC 300 AMG 20x9.5 wheel/ tire question

Hi everyone
I currently have a 2018 GLC 300 4Matic with the AMG line package. I am looking to put a pair of AMG 20x9.5 in the rear switching out my 20x 8.5. The tires I am currently running are the Pirelli Scorpion Verde RFs.
I can not find any Scorpion Verdes in a 285 40 20 for the 20x9.5 staggered set up.

I want to avoid having to replace all tires as the front Scorpion Verdes (255 45 20) are practically brand new. Do you know which Pirelli has a similar tread pattern to the Scorpions and can be found in a 285 40 20?

Thank you!

If you have the AMG Package, should you not already have 20x9.5 in the rear?

I do not believe that the AMG Package came with a square 20x8.5 set up, unless of course a possible previous owner switched the rear wheels?

The AMG line package is a cosmetic package- 20” AMG wheels and other exterior and interior styling items. On GLC’s with this option, the wheels set up is 20x8.5 on all 4 corners

Thanks. Guess I have learned something new again. 😊

So the 9.5 in the rear were an option one could order?
