Does anyone know what the widest 20" wheel and tire combo will fit a 2019 GLC 63s
I have no intension of lowering the car in fact I'll be raising it..
I'm thinking this project might be kinda cool..

I have seen 22x9.5 and 11.5 wheels and lowered. It looks pretty sick with the wider stance. Rear tires were 325/30/22 in the rear and 275/35/22 fronts.
If you are going for that offroad look, there really is no limit as it does not have to fit under the fender.
If you are going with a street tire, you just have to play with offset and tire width.
I am running 10.5" wide wheels but with 315 width tires and I did bring my offset down to about +25 i believe. In front, my offset is down to +15 with 256 tires on 9" wheels. it is flush enough for me that i did not add the 12mm spacers i had purchased.

I can see you guys haven't gone in this direction before but thanks anyway.
I asked about 20" wheels, the idea is to get as wide a tire as will fit without rubbing the fender liner when cornering.
285/40/20 f 325/35/20 r or wider.
i showed you pictures of those sizes minus 10mm in front and back. 10mm is not going to change much from the pictures I posted which are 275 front, 315 rear. Your wheels would be a bigger factor as their offset determine how far in or out the sit. The GLC is an SUV and even being over an inch lower, I have never bottomed out.
Figure out what wheels you want to run, then figure out if the tires you are looking for even exist in those sizes. Especially that 325/35 is not a common size tire.
If you really have to ask with such an attitude, just go to a tire shop where they know what to do.

Attitude ?
I'm sorry a general simple question that you don't have an helpful answer for is taken as an attitude, please ignore any and all posts I make.

The other person who replied answered the question. 275/325 tires are the same width whtehr they are in 20 or 21 inch sizes. I am going to just assume you do not know much about tire sizing but you have an answer. 275/325 widths fit. the rest is up to you to figure out what you are going with.
Your helplessness is not the same as someone else not having a helpful answer.
tire rack is a good destination for reading up and offset and backspacing. Tire size comparison is a good place to learn about the size difference and compatibility.

With experience comes knowledge..
Asking about wheel and tire size is not simply how wide can you go to fit within the wheel arches but how much inner clearance is there within the wheel well itself when the wheel is turned.
This is determined by wheel offset as well as the overall diameter of the tire but also its width from edge to opposite edge on steering lock so as to not rub the inner wheel well.
I will cut the outer fender arches since there will be flairs covering the wider/larger tires..
So please keep your lowered over negative cambered options on another thread.
Thanks

Oh yeah I already have a properly setup lowered 2018 AMG E63s wagon.
Tuned, lowered, custom adjustable camber front upper A arms for proper wheel alignment. 285/30/20 f 295/30/20 r wheel tire combo.
I highly doubt it, no one seems to know very much on this forum other than lowering the car improperly and bolting on a set of aftermarket wheels.
I'll get the car up on a rack tomorrow and see what can be done for more clearance for the steering arc to determine the front wheel offset and max tire diameter..
I'm not that much of an off roader to dish out another $20k for a set of Portal Axels for a 35" tire fitment but somewhere in-between would be cool..

Yet still on here with a condescending and entitled attitude. Yikes.
the size you are trying to run is actually 0.3" shorter than the stock tire height in 20". so you are going to raise the car back to slightly over stock?
so with all your knowledge, to get the offroad look, you are going to run shorter tires and lift the car?
you want to talk about wheel offset but I gave you my wheel offset in my reply. I am down to +15 in front with 275 width tires which are wider than stock but 9" wheels which are slimmer than stock. do you think I just happened on the offset? You say with experience comes knowledge and I guarantee you I have more experience on the GLC platform than you would gain over then next year.
looking at my front tire, you can do a 285 width tire in +15 offset and still have your tire in the wheel well with no inner fender rubbing. If you want the tire to sit out like the offroad concept you keep posting, you would have to go to at least 0 or negative offset to really push the wheel and tire out.
You assume I just bolt on and lower but my GLC has gone through more tires and wheels in 18 months than any other GLC on this forum. my alignment is dialed in for my ride height and my track performance nd even tired wear would prove that.
You need help. you are fantasizing about a build from a sketch but you do not even know your factory tire height is taller than 29.0". Your tuned and lowered E is no better than my tuned and flowers GLC in alignment or wheel specs.
ike I said in the beginning, drop the attitude, maybe you would learn something.
Also worth knowing, your stock offset is +30f/+28r.
If you lift your car to measure said steering arch, your measurements would be off if weight is off of the tire. I would not advice turning tires full tilt on a skinny ramp style lift either. measure the steering arch on the ground if possible.
Please dude go away and pester someone else.
You're saying you have gone through more tires in 18 months than anyone else just shows me you don't know squat about setting up a car for handling.
Comparing your lowered GLC on stock suspension to my e63s wagon with proper adjustable upper A arms with 285/30/20 and -1.6 camber f and 295/30/20 r with -2.1 camber isn't even close.
You ride the inside edge off your tires long before the outer thread area is even scrubbed in from the negative camber I see in your pictures.
You assume I don't know that I have on my car stock as to offset and tire size and need your guidance...
Dude go attempt to impress the other kids on the block with your ignorance on this topic but do it on your own thread.
When you design and build your own car from the tires up and drive / own / restore Group B rally cars get back to me.

Dear Richard,
I don't think you belong on this forum. Please go away....
You do seem good at building hideous looking cars....

Goodbye
Awesome you're gone..
To the people that bought an SUV and try and make it into a car, understand this you could have bought a much better car to start with.
To the people that don't know what Group B rally cars are you seriously not car guys but posers.
I don't think Trolls belong on this forum but yet here you are..

your ugly toy cars are not the same as a 4500lb SUV with a powerful V8.
even if you built those things, it is irrelevant to the knowledge to run 285/325 width tires on a GLC. That is knowledge I have and you do not and you are welcome for the blessing of knowledge I have shared with you.
Based on the offroading concept image you keep sharing, I am confident in my assumption that you are not planning to build a race car out of the GLC. If you are going for that offroad look, you need tires that are taller than 29". if you want it to sit outside the fender, go lower on the offset until you hit your desired look. you already know that at ET +15 you are not going to have any issues with the inner fender or steering arch (you are welcome), so that is a good offset to start at. it only gets better from there as you would be pushout outwards.
now, about your pretense to know anything about anything.
The E63 and GLC63 both have adjustable suspensions. if you decide to spend money on an adjustable arm on your garage queen just to claim knowledge on the internet, that is your problem.
My electronically lowered GLC has proper alignment and quality miles on it from the highway to drag strip and circuit. they are wearing beautifully even despite the usage they see.
I can do this all day by calling you out and providing you the information you ask in the same post.
now let us try again. this is where you ask me to go away or post some more ugly pooboxes for resume

Come on Viper...the guy only knows two words which are "posers" and "Trolls"...you got to give him some kind of break....
When someone is just too braindead to understand what a proper alignment is on a lowered car and how to obtain it, that person should just go home and play with her dolls.
And when that same little girl doesn't know anything about Rally racing calling the worlds fastest Rally cars pooboxes, well then that little girl must have her monthly friend over for a visit.
