GLK wheel fitment

Tire size for AMG rims
I got this set for $800. The front were made in Italy and the rear, Germany. Or vice versa. I do like the wide look on the rear tires. I’ve never grasped the whole concept of off sets and tires in general.
what would I want or order if I wanted that wider look?
thank you in advance.

I needed some different wheels and tires for my GLK 250 than the original 19" AMG ones, as I live in La Paz, Mexico. Most of our roads outside the city are rough dirt ones, in various shade of bad.
The smallest wheel to fit the front axle is a 17" one, so I got a set of C Class wheels. 7.5 x 17 ET 47 for the front and 8.5 x 17 ET ? for the rear. I had the following offroad tires mounted, Falken Wildpeak AT 3W in the size 245/65 x17 for the dirt road environment around my house. The fitment of the complete wheels were tight, especially in the rear, close to the strut, but in the end with no problems at all. Please note the full size spare wheel on the roof. There was no any other option, to carry a "real" spare wheel on my long out of town trips.....

Wow, the C—Class wheels with off road tires looks very cool on the GLK!
I have a similar problem with my stock 20’s being too harsh for the roads that I drive on. I found these wheels off a GLC (photos attached). Would they fit my 2010 GLK350 or would I need any modifications like spacers?
