I’m currently driving a 2022 GLE 350, and I’ve been considering upgrading the wheels. I’ve come across a set of wheels from a 2022 GLS and was wondering if they would fit on my GLE. My GLE is equipped with 19-inch wheels right now, and I’m specifically looking at upgrading to larger, staggered wheels like the 21-inch setup that the GLS offers.
Before I pull the trigger, does anyone know if the bolt pattern, offset, and overall fitment between these two models are compatible? Has anyone here made a similar swap, and are there any potential issues I should be aware of (clearance, ride)
Details of the wheels i am planning to purchase.
Front: A1674015100 10J et 62.6Rear: A1674015300 11J et 55

The front and rear offsets are different for GLE vs GLS. Below are the factory offsets for my 21” set for a GLE450.Originally Posted by gle2023us

It’s not a massive difference - but depending on your expectations for staggered tire fit, they may not fit the same as they do on a GLS.
Front Wheels:
- Part Number: A167 401 0300
- Offset: 10Jx21 H2-N ET54
- Tire: 275/45R21 (107H)
Rear Wheels:
- Part Number: A167 401 1100
- Offset: 11Jx21 H2-N ET49
- Tire: 315/40R21 (111H)

Given the difference in offsets between the GLE and GLS, what kind of issues could I run into if I go ahead with fitting the GLS wheels on my GLE? Specifically:Originally Posted by OldMerc94

Could there be any rubbing on the fender liners or suspension components, especially when turning or under load?
Will the difference in offsets affect the handling, especially with the staggered setup?
Would I need spacers or any other modifications to make the GLS wheels fit properly?
Just want to be sure I don’t run into any surprises down the road. Appreciate the insights!

You do not need any modifications, there will not be any issues or rubbing and nothing will be broken.Originally Posted by gle2023us

You are changing out from your current standard wheels to different wheels so to ride and feel will be different.
And I assume you know that going up in wheel size the ride comfort will be less than what you have now.
