Thoughts on 21" wheels on CLS55
I am trying to decide between 20" wheels or 21" wheels for my CLS55. I have seen photos of it done and looks pretty good and I also have a friend with a new CL600 with 21's and it looks good. What are your your thoughts?
Will it greatly affect ride quality?
Will it throw by speedo out of whack?
Please let me know your opinions or experiences. Thanks!!

Odd size and tires might cost more. Use this site to see what differences you might get. http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCal...?action=submit

Hello
I pasted the same info for everyone to know and just incase you check this side more
The answer is no to both of your questions. The correct rim specs to tire diameter if done right will not give you problems
We are located in Miami,Fl and more then glad to give you a ride in any of the company cars with wheels to show you how cars ride with our wheels.
Its a matter of preference as tires in 21" become selective and $$
Here is a CLS550 on 21" Trident to give you an idea.
Enjoy!!
And with 20" Concord on the aggresive side:

I've had 21" lownharts (sold), and my new wheels which should arrive soon are 21" 360 forged. They looked great and felt no different than 20's.

I think 21 would give you the WOW factor, but I cant see a huge different from 20". and I am sure 20" will save you a bit of $$$$$. giving the terrible tire wear that our CLS has after lowering with 20"
