Need help choosing the right tire size for 22" rims
I purchased some Lexani LX10 22x9 rims(they aren't staggered). I made a mistake by not checking the lug pattern of the rim, but I couldn't pass up on the deal. The lug pattern of the rims are 5x130. I was able to find 25mm adapters. My friend has a 2010 S550 and he has 25mm spacers of the rear with the tire size of 255/30R22. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what tire size I can put on the front without causing and damage. What will be the best size to use for the front with 25mm adapters?

Need to know the offset of the wheels to be able to determine that. Anything under ET50 is going to be a problem no matter what tire you put on.

So you bought wheel that are the wrong bolt pattern, the wrong offset and the wrong diameter? Are they at least round?
Seriously, sell those things on Ebay and get wheels that fit. If you bought them cheap you should come out okay. All that extra rotating mass from the adapters and spacers is going to be a recipe for vibrations.

I agree with Mike. Sell them for a profit if you got an amazing deal and get a proper wheel that are a proper fit for your car. I'd hate to have a high end luxury car and it doesn't have a smooth ride due to the 3 things you have to add to make them work. Thinking about it, it may cost you a bit extra to make them work and there's no guarantee that it will run smooth.
Here, this may help for next time:
Bolt pattern: 5x112mm
Hub Bore: 66.6mm
Offset: 43
Mounting bolt: 14mm x 1.50
