Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class Wheels and Rims

Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

The Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class is the subcompact luxury SUV at the entry point of the Mercedes SUV lineup. It sits below the GLB, GLC, GLE, and GLS in body size and rides on the Mercedes MFA2 front wheel drive platform shared with the A-Class, CLA, and GLB. Element Wheels measures the GLA across two generations: the X156 (2015-2020, including the GLA 250 base and the AMG GLA 45) and the current H247 (2021 and up, including the GLA 250 base and the AMG GLA 35 and AMG GLA 45). Bolt pattern stays 5x112 with a 66.56mm hub bore on every GLA variant. The GLA 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 45. Pick your generation and trim below for the fitment specs.

Find Your Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class Generation

Pick your chassis to see wheels and rims that fit your specific GLA. Bolt pattern is 5x112 / 66.56mm CB on every variant. What changes is the brake package on the AMG GLA 35 and AMG GLA 45 (larger than the base GLA 250) and the chassis generation between the X156 and the current H247.

The Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class Bolt Pattern

Every Mercedes-Benz GLA in our catalog uses 5x112 with a 66.56mm hub bore. That covers the X156 (2015-2020, including GLA 250 and AMG GLA 45) and the current H247 (2021 and up, including GLA 250, AMG GLA 35, and AMG GLA 45). Mercedes did not change the bolt math when they redesigned the GLA for the H247 in 2021. The GLA rides on the Mercedes MFA2 front wheel drive platform, shared with the A-Class, CLA, and GLB. All four nameplates use 5x112 / 66.56mm, so the bolt pattern crosses inside the MFA2 family.

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. A wheel built for one of these will bolt onto a GLA hub in stud pattern and centering, but the body geometry differs significantly. The GLA is the smallest body in the modern Mercedes SUV lineup. Wheel arch height, fender clearance, and ride height are different from a GLC or GLE. We track the GLA as its own platform.

5x112 is NOT the same as 5x114.3 used on most Japanese cars. The two patterns sit roughly 2mm apart and are not interchangeable. Compare across the rest of the Mercedes-Benz lineup at our Mercedes-Benz wheels and rims hub, or check the sibling fitments at /wheels/mercedes-benz/glb-class.

Why GLA Trim And Brake Package Determine Wheel Fit

The GLA ships in three trim tiers across both generations. The base GLA 250 runs the standard GLA brake package. The AMG GLA 35 (H247 only, introduced for 2021) sits in the middle and runs a larger brake than the base. The AMG GLA 45 sits at the top and runs the largest brake on the GLA platform, with an even tighter caliper-clearance window. Each AMG step changes the inner-barrel margin available to the spoke design behind the wheel face, so an aftermarket wheel that clears a GLA 250 may not clear a GLA 45 of the same chassis. The GLA is square across every variant, every generation. Same wheel and tire size front and rear, no factory stagger. The AMG GLA 45 carries the largest brake on the lineup with the front brake larger than the rear, which is standard for a high-output performance variant.

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 GLA-Class Wheels

Element Wheels measures fitment on the platforms we sell wheels for, including both GLA generations from the 2015 X156 forward. For the GLA that means clearance from the wheel to the fender on a subcompact SUV body that runs tighter than a GLC or GLE, gap between the back of the wheel and the front suspension struts on the MFA2 platform, brake caliper height across the base GLA 250, the AMG GLA 35 (H247), and the AMG GLA 45 packages, hub bore confirmation on the 66.56mm Mercedes hub, lug bolt seat depth for the M14x1.5 thread, 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.
