Question How big rims and tyres on the CL 215?

20" is no problem, Lars K will fit 21", have anyone seen 22" and knows how much the car hade to be modified to fit 22"? Pictures also please of 21 & 22" rims on CL cars and facts about the rims and tyres.

No longer car shopping...
WHy even bothering asking?

No one in their "right mind" would EVER put 22's on this car. Just WAY too PIMP and gangsta. Unless you want people to think you have not class and more money than sense, putting 22's is just plain stupid. You can kinda tell that I am on the fence on this one, right?

Lexani has a wheel that will fit, it looks like the brabus mb6. However I agree with the above post this car isn't meant for 22's. Buy a 300c if you want 22's.

It is possible to put on 22's on the CL b/c I have seen them on a W220 S 500. Here is a link to pics of how it looks. IMHO its way too flashy and unperportional to the car. Its your car so do whatever please you

"Fit" is a term used rather loosely here.

I've seen people force 22's on the V220 S-Class and C215 CL-Class cars but it is an incorrect fitment. Maximum size with TUV approval would be a 21" staggered setup running 255/30R21 FA and 295/25R21 RA.

The Lorinser TUV approved fitment for this car is 9.0x21 ET38 FA and 10x21 ET38 RA with the RS8 style wheels. They are also developing some new style wheels as well for the 2007 W221 & V221 S-Class cars which should cross over as well. All of these wheels will be RDK compatable which means they are made to accomodate the factory tire pressure sensors which will transfer over from the factory wheels.

The 22's on t5he white s class don't even look big, in fact they look like 20's. Anyways yes I intended to use fit loosely, passenger cars with a few exceptions look silly with rims bigger than 20".
