GLC43 Rim size and offset?
I'm using my 20" OEM rims on winter tires, and am looking to get a nice set of 20's, but with a wider offset.
Can anyone tell me the OEM rim sizes and offset? Also any good rim recommendations?

Looks good! Have you tried lowering the rear air suspension with the button/switch in the back? Would you mind doing that and taking a pic inside the fender?
Curious what the clearance is like.

I wish there was more info on this too....it seems hardly anyone has changed the wheels on these. The few that I've seen weren't done well. (IE sticking out too far and or even narrower than stock sizes)

This is done pretty well imo, his specs are 22x9 and 22x10.5, ET 28 and ET15 i believe front and rear. 22" are too big for Michigan roads imo, so ill probably have this similar setup in 20" over the summer, maybe Vossen CVT's.

GLC43 Coupé
Hi am trying to buy some wheels that would fit my GLC43 for winter.
The official package comes with 4 19 inch wheels. Does anybody know what offset/width they are?
Ideally I want wheels that are sticking out as much as the summer wheels that came with the car.

The size you gave me are the official rim size with summer tires right?
I was wondering what size/offset were the 19 wheels that I linked for the winter tires configuration that MB sells here. They all seem to be 235/55R19.

Yes, they are the OEM size. This can be use at winter setup. But if you don’t want staggered tire setup. You can go for 235/55 19 or 255/50 19 all around. In terms of the offsets. Is all base on the wheel design. The safest is to pick the wheels that sure fit from the wheels venders. Like tire rack, they won’t sell you anything that is not fit. on their website these 19 inch wheels offset are from 32 to 40mm

GLC43
new member in need of GLC43 compatible wheel spacer info.
I’m new to the forum and the GLC43. I got an aftermarket set of square setup wheels for the winter and the rear wheel looks too tucked in. I’ve been looking for compatible spacer, but there isn’t much info. I even called H&R and they can’t guarantee the fitment because all they list is the 300 model. You are one of the first folks I see running spacers. Can you please share what you successfully installed?
I’m looking for 20rear and 5 mm front. The new 19” winter wheels are ET38. The front one is slightly rubbing against the caliper and the back one fits but it is too tucked in.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Those spacers seem to work.
If you go to the ECS tuning website you can find the HR DR Trak Spacers that are 5mm, 15 and 20.
Also you will need longer bolts as discussed in that thread. I believe stock bolts are 45 mm long so add the spacer thickness you want to that.
So 45mm + 5mm spacers you would need 50 mm long bolts.

FYI I don't know if it's true but I was told that the specs for the GLC 300 are the same as the 43 and that 13mm is the minimum that you can use.
