Need help! 2021 GLC AMG 43 question

Im ready to pull the trigger on a like new 2021. My question is about the wheels. It has the 21 inch AMG Split 10 spoke black wheels. Both front and rear are 255s. Shouldn't these be staggered with 285 rears? Maybe im wrong, but I only recall seeing staggered wheels on these models. For those who are familiar, please let me know if non staggered was an option. Thanks in advance

Yes, both my GLC43 and GLC63 are/were staggered. I've never seen a GLC43 or 63 with the same size all around.

Are you sure it's 21 inch and not the 19 inch square set with 255 tire that Mercedes sales as winter package ?

My 2022 GLC43 SUV has 21 inch wheels and the tires ARE staggered sizes.

We know that 265/40/21 works on the FRONT on the GLC 43 . People use those for all season or snow tire .
Putting 265/40/21 IN THE BACK may work since you get almost the same diameter as the OEM 285/35 21 but the back of the car is going to look bad . The rear rims are wider .
You can always try , it's only going to cost a mount and dismount at the shop .
I will not do it but I am not an expert .

2022 GLC43 are staggered 21's (assuming you got the 21inch option)
F:255/45R20 (105V)/R:285/40R20 (108V)

As mentioned, I have seen a couple of guys go 265 square and it works okay on the stock rims.
