I personally would keep it at 20's or at most 21's. i never really liked 22's on the W215

you can make U-turn left turn right turn with no rub. 20's run like stock perfect upgrade.
but note if you are going 60miles down a hill when you reach the bottom
a little rub
thats only it hope this help

22"s wouldn't suit. 20s are certainly big enough imao

It will rub. Mercedes says 21 is the largest it will go... and you would blow tires too if they did fit. I bust 2 tires every few months on potholes.

Dealers like mercedes and les schwab themselves tell you to protect themselves from you suing them later for it. Les schwab told me the biggest i could fit fit on a ls430 lexus was 20's. crammed 22's on that *****. Looks sick.

People have crammed 22s in, but I don't prefer the look. Go for 20s and lower the car to complete the look.

There are a few ways to lower it, but in all of them the air suspension still works. Mine is lowered about an inch and a half so for steep driveways and at high speeds where the car lowers even further, I just hit the button on the dash and raise the car up and have no problems. I am not an expert on the different methods of lowering the car, but I know mine was the do it yourself <$100 method. The dealer (eMotors LLC) where I bought the car in Concord CA lowered it for me with this method.
