Mercedes GLC-Class wheel fitment for the Mercedes GLC-Class Phev R2CGLC (2022–2026): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 66.6 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 140 Nm |
| Seat type | radius |
| Factory setup | staggered |
| TPMS | direct |

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 8.5J–10J | ET12–ET50 |
| Rear (staggered) | 8.5J–12J | ET15–ET45 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8 to 10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
