22" Wheels On 2003 CL500?

I was just wondering if 22" Rims with 285 25 22 Rubbers will fit on my 2003 CL 500 without any interferences and loss in performance?

I'm not sure about rubbing, but if it did fit..definite decrease in performance and ride comfort.

It will fit though most people are running the 265/30/22 tire w/a 22 x 9.5" wheel. It's tight though and as previously mentioned, ride quality WILL suffer. Just an FYI it is not an approved fittment from any TUV approved wheel companies.

it fits... just make sure stick to as close as possible to original offset. low 30s , or 28 on the rear with as much as 10-1/2 but can't lower too much for sure. as the diameter slightly bigger than average.

Its funny because i just found that same pic lastnight, i checked the same wheel and tire size with 1010tires size calculator and its 5.75% larger which means that its not good for the vehicle. So I have decided to go with the safe bet and get 20" wheels. Thanks anyway guys.

Hey TGOOD can you find out the wheels specs that your friend has and the size of the rubbers?

What other modifications did he do to his car suspension wise because his wheels look tucked?

Please!!

2002 cl 600
22'' wheels on 03 cl 500

i have a 02 cl 600 amg m/b and 22's fit perfect to keep them from rubbing some much you can raise the suspension by pushing a button right above the navigation system. oh! and i didn't have to cut anything only trim down a bolt about a 1/2 inch the bolt was located right above the tire as far as performance . well i don't have to say much it's a amg

I would recommend 19inch. I have 20inch (285/30 in back, 235/35 front) and had two flats with a bent rim in half a year. The CL is a heavy car and it is impossible to avoid all pot holes.

Just because it fits, doesn't mean it looks good.
