GLK350 19" Rims To 245/50R20

My tires need to be changed and I found a great deal on a set of 245/50R/20 102H XL. Can I swap my 235/50R19 for 245/50R20?

The difference in diameter is 0.3". That'll throw your speedometer off a little but I'd go with them.

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
235/50-19 4.6in 14.1in 28.3in 88.8in 714 0.0%
245/50-19 4.8in 14.3in 28.6in 90.0in 704 1.4%

Reply given with no information available with regard to actual rim width, which only can be fitted with a maximum/minimum tire width!

The swap is not recommended, using two Tyre Size Change Calculators, as the tolerances stated are maximum +/÷ 2,5- and - 3% of the diameter, and the replacement tire diameter is + 4,9%. Speedometer reading will be 4,9% to slow.

Load index 102 is fine.

To be clear, you're not talking about putting 245/50R20's on your 19" wheels? I hope I'm wrong, but that's how I'm interpreting your post. And that's not possible. I assume you're talking about swapping wheels and tires?

I wish I was. You probably saved me from ordering the wrong tires. Thank you!

The good news is 20" tires would go onto 19" rims real easily...
