Looking for Concave 4matic wheels

Hello guys! I recently purchased an Artic White 2011 GLK 4matic. I absolutely love it. I have tried searching this forum for some GLK wheels, but am having a hard time finding some examples. I would like a set of 20" concave wheels that would work with the 4matic system. Can anyone point me in the right direction, and the exact offsets/sizes I need for the rims, and tires that wont throw off any factory required specs? I would like the wheels to be pretty flush, so offsets are very important to me, I basically want a perfect fitting wheel for the GLK

MRR makes some nice concave wheels that I've seen, but I can't find any for the GLK?

2010 GLK 350 4MATIC
As far as working with the 4matic system I think as long as all the tires are the same diameter there shouldn't be a problem. Of course try to keep them as close as possible to stock diameter so it doesn't throw you speedometer too far off. Lots of tire diameter calculators out there so just plug in the stock tire size and compare with what you're looking to run.

Unless I'm mistaken, the stock 20 inch wheels are 20 x 8.5 inches, 5 x 112mm bolt pattern, 45mm offset with a hub center bore of 66.6mm. Getting that flush look will require just the right combination of wheel width and offset so hopefully someone can chime in with their results.

As long as the overall tire diameter is the same as stock you won't have any issues with the speedometer or 4matic. You can also run a staggered setup on 4matic.

As far as concave is concerned ADV and DPE might be a good place to start.

Are the GLK oem 20" AMG wheels compatible on a 2011 4matic?

Thanks, I will have to check them out! Do you guys know what offsets people are running for a nice flush fitment without rubbing? Correct me if I'm wrong, but 40 is OEM offsets for the 20's, so would a 35 offset allow for a better flush fitment without poking out too much?

Hello,

Yes correct...If factory is +40, going to a +35 will poke the wheels our 5mm more. But this factor can change also based upon the width of the wheel too. Once you have decided which concave wheels you would like, we can get you exact width and offset for you GLK.

Thank you

I'm pretty sure the 20x8.5 OEM wheels are 45mm offset.
