Hello,


I am looking for some opinions on 21+ wheels for the 4Matic. I have 18s on the car now and am seeing a lot of 21 and 22 wheels on our cars. What do you have on your 4Matic? How's the ride quality? What offset did you go with?

Riding 20" AMG wheels, ride quality is excellent. No worries or catching heart attacks when driving over potholes.

Riding on 22" is just as smooth and they fit perfect

Do you have 22 on a 4matic? What size tires did end up with?

Bobbybigbucks

Yes my car is also 4matic and my wheels are 22" staggered wheels. I can't remember the exact fit but my tires in the rear are 295/25/22

If you stagger make sure the rolling diameters front to rear have no more than a 3% variance. Bobby, what are your front tire sizes?

Bobbybigbucks

Thank you for the info but I'm aware of that, I just didn't remeber the front size . I think they are 245/30/22

I been rolling on them for almost 4 months I did a lot of milage and it drives very smooth but my rear tires are done lol.. I got continentals, the front are still good but the back are done.but my car is also lowered

Denis_E55

Can you post some pictures and the tire sizes?

Mike5215

Those do check out fine (.07% variance). Not everyone catches that when staggering a 4Matic and the potential problems to the AWD system don't crop up right away.

Interesting I was unaware that you could stagger the tires on a 4MATIC without any risk?

Whats the specs on the wheels and tire sizes?

Bobbybigbucks

they are 245/30/22 and 295/25/22 ther rear wheels are 10.5inch and front are 9 or 8.5 inch I think

I've always heard your not supposed to stagger an AWD car as well. It could mess up the differentials.

The safest way is to fake stagger... get the 9.5 and 10.5 inch rim but put the same size tires all the way around.

no thats wrong, as long as the rolling diameter match within the spec, you are ok.
putting same size on different width wheels makes it worse, as it will stretch more on wider wheels, thus short rolling diameter than right size tire on the right wide wheel.
