Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class Wheels and Rims

Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

The Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class is the compact four door coupe at the entry point of the Mercedes sedan and coupe lineup. It rides on the Mercedes MFA front wheel drive platform with optional 4MATIC all wheel drive, shared with the A-Class, GLA, and GLB across the same family of platforms. Element Wheels measures the CLA across two generations: the C117 (2014-2019, MFA1 platform, including the CLA 250 and the AMG CLA 35 / 45) and the current C118 (2020 and up, MFA2 platform, CLA 250 in our catalog through 2026, with AMG CLA 35 and CLA 45 variants on the same chassis). Bolt pattern is 5x112 with a 66.56mm hub bore on every CLA variant, every generation. Lug fastener is M14x1.5, lug bolt style (Mercedes uses a bolt that threads into the hub, not a stud with a separate lug nut). The CLA is a square fitment platform across every trim. Same wheel and tire size front and rear, no factory stagger. What changes inside the family is the brake package on the AMG trims and the minimum diameter at the AMG 35 and AMG 45. Pick your generation and trim below for the fitment specs.

Find Your Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class Generation

Pick your chassis to see wheels and rims that fit your specific CLA. Bolt pattern is 5x112 / 66.56mm CB on every variant. What changes is the brake package on the AMG CLA 35 and AMG CLA 45 (larger than the base CLA 250) and the chassis generation between the C117 and the current C118.

The Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class Bolt Pattern

Every Mercedes-Benz CLA in our catalog uses 5x112 with a 66.56mm hub bore. That covers the C117 (2014-2019, including CLA 250 and AMG CLA 35 / 45) and the current C118 (2020 and up, CLA 250 in our catalog with AMG CLA 35 and CLA 45 variants on the same chassis). Mercedes did not change the bolt math when they replaced the C117 with the C118 in 2020. Lug fastener is M14x1.5, lug bolt style.

The CLA rides on the Mercedes MFA front wheel drive platform with optional 4MATIC all wheel drive. The MFA family includes the A-Class, GLA, GLB, and CLA, and all four nameplates share the same 5x112 / 66.56mm bolt math, the same M14x1.5 lug thread, and the same general chassis lineage. Wheels will bolt across all four MFA nameplates in stud pattern and centering, but body geometry differs significantly between them. The A-Class and CLA are low sedans / four door coupes. The GLA is a subcompact SUV. The GLB is a compact three row SUV. A wheel measured for a CLA 45 will not automatically clear a GLA 45 or a GLB 35 of the same year. We track each MFA nameplate as its own platform.

The 5x112 / 66.56mm pattern is also the universal modern Mercedes-Benz spec, shared with the C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, GLC, GLE, and GLS. 5x112 is NOT the same as 5x114.3 used on most Japanese cars. The two patterns sit roughly 2mm apart and are not interchangeable.

Why CLA Trim And Brake Package Determine Wheel Fit

The CLA ships in three trim tiers across both generations. The CLA 250 (base) runs the standard CLA brake package and accepts a 17 inch minimum aftermarket diameter. The AMG CLA 35 (introduced for 2020 on the C118 in the U.S. market, with a similar Edition variant on the late C117) sits in the middle and runs a larger brake than the base. The AMG CLA 45 sits at the top and runs the largest brake on the CLA platform, with a significantly tighter caliper clearance window. The AMG variants require an 18 inch minimum aftermarket diameter. The front brake on the AMG CLA 35 and AMG CLA 45 is significantly larger than the rear brake, which is standard on every high output Mercedes-AMG performance variant. The CLA is square across every variant, every generation. Same wheel and tire size front and rear, no factory stagger. The square layout matches the MFA front wheel drive geometry and the optional 4MATIC all wheel drive driveline.

Every wheel we recommend is backed by our Fitment Guarantee. If a wheel does not fit, we pick up the wheels and refund 100 percent. No risk to you.

How We Confirm Fitment on Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class Wheels

Element Wheels measures fitment on the platforms we sell wheels for, including both CLA generations from the 2014 C117 forward. For the CLA that means clearance from the wheel to the fender on a low compact four door coupe body, gap between the back of the wheel and the front suspension struts on the MFA front wheel drive platform, brake caliper height across the base CLA 250 and the AMG CLA 35 / CLA 45 packages, hub bore confirmation on the 66.56mm Mercedes hub, lug bolt seat depth for the M14x1.5 lug bolt, and the front wheel drive turning geometry that constrains the steer angle clearance. At our fitment facility in Chandler, Arizona, the Element Wheels team measures directly on the physical platforms we support. We don't pull specs from manufacturer sheets the way most retailers do.

Pick your chassis above to see wheels and rims that fit. We measure on the CLA across both C117 and current C118 platforms, track AMG CLA 35 and AMG CLA 45 on their own row because the brake clearance is significantly tighter than the base CLA 250, and confirm the 5x112 / 66.56mm spec across the MFA family. Find your fit and start enjoying your build sooner.
