Pics of 22" rims on vehicle

We are looking to upgrade and would love to see pics of tire/rim combos.

I actually wish my ML had 17 or 18 inch wheels so I would be able to buy all terrain tires. To each his own. Big heavy wheels are pretty bad for braking performance also. More rolling mass to stop.

What tire size are your running? Does your ML have air suspension? Is it lowered?

Looks great. Jazzes up the exterior in a very subtle and classy manner.

Quuck question: how does it affect the ride amd speedometer?

Thanks! It does make it look more sporty!

At first, the ride was more noisy. I didn't notice any comfort difference. I lowered the air from 40 to 35 and it reduced the noise considerably. Even at that, it is still a little more noisy than the stock tires, but that is because it is a wider tire and the design itself could be more noisy.

The speedo should be fine as I believe it uses a speed sensor (all newer cars do as far as I know).

Nice Mbm6f! How hard/expensive was it to convert to the quad tips? Also, how do you post the pics so they are full size?

I post from my iPad and use the photobucket app to convert to IMF code.
And thanks, spacers go on tomorrow to fill out the last bit of gap.

Ride seems the same. The trick is to find the right air pressure for comfort and mileage. I have them at 35.

I guess Mmb6f has left the building. I was hoping to find out how hard/expensive to convert to quad tips!

Change the rear apron and the tips are your set. Parts would be probably $2500-3000 from the dealer without labor. I would get the tips from a seller on here since they look just like the OEM ones and have AMG stamp.
