I am about to order 20" wheels for my glk350. I have already ordered 255/45/20 tires and had a quick question about the wheels.

My GLK is 4matic so should I avoid getting the 8.5/9.5 staggered set? If so should I go all 8.5 or all 9.5?

Thanks in advance.

Staggered has no effect on the 4Matic system. Only the total height of the wheel + tire combo should remain the same as stock to not throw off any sensors.

Staggered 8.5/9.5 wheels with 235/45 R20 / 255/40 R20 tires are optional factory deliveries.

I put on the 255/40/R20 on my glk 8.5 in the front they will rub on the inner finder liner when making a u turn. Keep it the same I have tried doing what'd you are doing to much of a headache

Have you consulted any of the online tire calculators at places like TireRack, etc.? Can you return the tires if they are too big? Search this forum. There are numerous discussions about larger tires for the GLK. I seem to recall that 245/45-20 is the limit. Verify that. I could be wrong.

What size did you with for both Good Years and Hankook?

Venoms

The Goodyears where 255/40/r20 and the hankook are I think 240/40/r20 I think . Well see Monday when they come in

No rubbing when turning or making U turns?

Venoms

Yes they rub when making a u turn I get my new tires next Monday

Thanks... I think I'll stick with 235/45/20 for now.

Perhaps you and the Mercedes-Benz designers are on to something, hey?

What size are your new tires? I am thinking of going to Nitto 420s 255/40R20 but what has me doubting about buying those is the rubbing on U-Turn. Is it really that bad to damage the in board fender?

A lower offset wheel or perhaps some spacers could help with any tire rubbing.
