Wheel Fitment Concerns

Hey everyone. I have tried researching this but I am having a hard time getting clear answers from wheel size guides. Would 2019 (previous generation) 21" GLE Coupe wheels fit a 2020 GLE? Sizes are as follows:

Front 21x10 ET 52 and rear 21x11 ET 38

Fitment can be more aggressive than stock would be. I just want to make sure these would bolt up on the car and wouldn't hit something or stick out a lot.

Thanks in advance!

You would probably need to drill the wheels for the larger 15 mm bolt on 20-21 models.
If you have the AMG body on the 2020 they should be OK.

Thanks for the info! I had no idea that the bolts were slightly larger. Bummer

There is an old thread where Greg drilled his older M wheels. It doesn’t look like a big deal. I had a set of aftermarket wheels for winter tires-14mm that worked without drilling. I bought a drill bit but didn’t need to use it. With that small of a difference the drill bit should self center (by hand) if you take it slow and easy.
