Still working on my set up. A bit of a hiccup with HRE. Now looking at other fitment options. I thought the 43 and 63 were the same fitment but maybe not. 8.5 up front seems too narrow for the 63. Looking more at like 9 or 9.5 up front and 10 in back. Thanks for posting. Looks good.
Here is a picture of my winter rims and tires, Fast wheels with Pirelli Ice Zero/ 235/55/19. These are for a 2019 GLC 43 coupe ..selenite grey with night package. I haven't got the vehicle yet but should be coming in soon.

Reason: adding information
These remind me of my stock BBS STI wheels back in 2006(although mine were gold).
19's all around square?
Did you get the same offset front and rear if so what offset are these wheels ??
Stock offset is 40MM up front and 22 in the rear for the Summer 21" inch set up.
You might have a "tuckage" issue in the rear that is not very attractive.
Are you planning on running spacers?
Just realized you had the coupe version.
Not sure if the coupe version runs the same wheel set up as I mentioned above so I could be totally off.
Either way good wheel color choice to bounce off the Selenite Gray.
Good luck man

Reason: additional information
I believe the offset from the invoice is +32 for both front and rear.
19' front and rear as well.
The tucking (if present) won't upset me as these are just winter tires, so I won't be running spacers. My C350 coupe had the same issue when going to the winter package and didn't look to bad to me.
Since this is my first GLC and I don't have the vehicle right now I don't know what the summer offset is.
My stock summer are the 21" with summer tires.
I was thinking of going bronze colour but the costs were getting to high for winter rims.

Here’s the setup on my 63. 8.5x19” Niche wheels with 25 offset. 12mm spacer front 20mm rear. Blizzard DMV2 235/55R19. Huge degradation in dry but I’m ready for upstate NY winters.
@weeles did you put your set up on yet ?
Curious to see what it looks like?
Did you get spacers to get rid of the "tuckage" ?
I still have not had the new ride delivered. Once I do I will take some pics and post.
I know I will not be bothered from the wheel position to the body, so it will stay for the winter as I get it.

Thanks for Posting! Looks good makes me wish I didn't buy 20's and 255 tires. Did you need the spaces to clear the brakes or just for looks?
My set up is hopefully being shipped today. Vorsteiner and Michelins. I will try to post pics next week when I can change my shoes . Snowing in Chi-Town today, GLC needs its winter boots.

Its a solid spec. I am glad you posted originally, because when I learned the HREs I ordered were not coming any time soon, I immediately pivoted to the Vorsteiners. I will post next week once I get them on.

Looks great! I had the same wheel on my 06 A3 when it was new in 19" and 18", nice looking wheel but a pain to clean. Did you go with factory size Pirelli snow tires?
