Wheel recommendations
Hi. I have a 2008 GL 550, and I will be needing snow tires in the fall. Any idea what size rim/tire combo will work properly? The original 21" does not seem to have an available snow tire.

I bought a set of these:

The guys at Wheel Tech Tuning will put any tire you want on the rims and ship them to you.
You will want to request that whoever installs them balances them AFTER they switch the air pressure sensors from your stock wheels to your new wheels.
ALSO, your selection of tires dramatically increases when you go from the 21'' wheel to the 22" wheel. AND your price per tire dramatically decreases.
