Do GLC63 21” Wheels fit GLC43
I am wondering if 2020 GLC63 21” wheels will fit my GLC43. Tirerack has snow tires which fit the 63 wheels, but have nothing for the 21” 43 wheels.
Or I thought about 20” GLC43 wheels with snow tires.

If you are looking for snow tires @21", you should reconsider wheel size ant tire fitment related to the rim. Why are you thinking about 21" snow package?

Yes, they fit perfectly. The offset of the 63 @ 30 would also give a better flushed look. Both wheels are 5x112 cb 66.6 (same as Audi 5 and above). The factory offset for our 43 is et40.

How did you come to this conclusion? It would be equivalent to running 10mm spacers all the way around. Any pics?

They should fit...its more equivalent to running 23mm spacers in the front because the GLC63 wheel is also 1 inch wider than the 43. Either way still should sit under the fender.

GLC63 Wheels Front are 21x9.5" +30 Rear wheels are 21x10" +28
GLC43 Wheels Front are 20x8.5" +38 Rear wheels are 20x9.5"+22
So interms of fitment stock VS stock, the front GLC63 wheels will stick out 23mm more than the GLC43 wheels. For the rear the outer fitment is identical. I installed the GLC63 front flares on my 43 and had to run a 15mm spacer after on the front to push the wheels out to make it look good again.

With that being said you'd be safe with a 20 inch winter setup. Hope that helps!

Currently on winters but wondering if anyone knows if there are any concerns with inner clearance when going much wider? Going to 10.5 or 11 with similar outward position obviously creates less inner clearance. Any idea how much room is under there?

Hi, I’m wondering why the recommendation for the front isn’t the Scorpion with regular front size 255/40r21 and larger rear 295/35r21? Why the 265 on the front when the 255 is available in this tire, and actually has a closer sized sidewall as the 295 option?
