18" Rims for the 2010 GLK 350
MB does not list 18" rims for use on the 350 GLK - has anyone got any information on that. Putting snow on this baby is expensive $$$ - I can get better prices on 18" MB after market rims and snows than through the dealer ship - $5,000!!!
Anybody have some direction or ideas?

I think if you take the following info to a tire guy he can fix you up:
2010 Mercedes
GLK Class
Bolt Pattern: 5x112
Center Bore: 66.56
Hardware:12x1.50 Bolt
Offset:
Front: 40-50mm
Rear: 45-50mm
Also the tires should probably be 235/55-18 but 225/60-18 would be ok too.
Since 17" wheels are used in Europe,I don't think there will be any brake clearance issues.
I'm sure the TPMS will be involved here, but I am too new here to know how the MB system works and how that effects replacement wheels.... But the tire guy should be able to ascertain that rather quickly by removing one wheel...
Now once the new wheels are mounted the TPMS will probably have to be indexed.......
That "may" have to be done by your dealer...

This is the nicest I've seen.... perfect for 18" snow tires on the GLK.... but hurry up! they're half price due to a close-out sale!

Good luck... Tire Rack sells this wheel with great snowtires mounted, bal and delivered for special winter tire packages.... give them a call!
And this tire: Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 4x4 RFT in 235/55/18R
