Non-AMG Wheel Opening Molding (black textured)
Does anyone know the part numbers for the wider black textured wheel molding? I have a 2020 GLE which came with the standard 19 inch wheels. The wheel opening moldings are pretty flush with the fender. I have seen the same black textured wheel opening molding with more flare and that's what after adding wider MB optional wheels. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So, with a lot of searching around, I finally found a dealer who knew the part numbers needed. If your vehicle came with the flush black wheel opening molding, as my vehicle did with the standard 19 inch wheels and you decide to change to the wider wheels ( changed to 21 inch R77 wheels), you will need the wider fender flares. The part numbers are 167-885-47-00 and 167-885-48-00 for the front and 167-885-05-00 and 167-885-06-00 for the rear to compensate for the additional poke from the wider wheels. Hope that helps any one doing the change.

I am also in the same position with 19inch wheels. How difficult to replace these fender flares?

Hey Cobra, I just recently replaced my 19 inch to 20 inch and noticed the additional poke. Did you ever replace your fender flares and how easy was this? I saw in a video where they just stuck the flares on with an adhesive but wasn't sure if this would also be the same with the OEM parts. I was wondering if this is something I would be able to do myself. Also, did you have to do anything else to your car when upsizing the wheel (etc. calibrate speedometer, handling, ABS)?
