22 inch on CLS!?
Glad to have found a forum just for this car. Just purchased the CLS 500 OBlack/Black a few days ago and looking for wheels. Currently the Car is on the "AMG" package (sport) but I'm looking for 22" wheels.. The look Im going for is
Looking at HRE 940's, Anyone know if they would fit?
HRE 940
If the Ride quality is bad I'm prob going to end up getting the HRE 840R . A few other options I'm looking at right now is adding the read AMG lip once MB releases to dealers next month.

i dont think youll get 22s on a CLS. 21s really push it, but can be done. there is a picture in this forum, one on Dazzs site and one on GFGs site with a CLS on 21s, and they look a little too big IMO. i think u should go with any of the 940s series, i almost did the same, i did some mock ups of the 943s on a CLS in this forum but they werent chrome, id do chrome for sure. i also plan on adding the AMG rear deck lid, MBenzNL in this forum can get them out sooner i believe. Regardless if u go with a 940 or an 840 in the same size, the ride quality degradation would be about the same, but the 940 series are really meant for luxury cars so probably a better fitment to look at. i put 20s on and lowered my CLS. the ride has barely been sacrificed if any, although i prefer a more responsive ride, but it still rides smooth too!

Please don't put 22's on this car - I'm telling you right now it's gonna look like a 4x4 - may as well get a 7 series or a an H3 if you wanna go that route - the one with 21's on here were way too big IMO and 22's are just gonna look silly and stupid. Just my opinion, but if you do it, I hope what I picture is wrong.

I was watching some show, It's like the East Coast version of West Coast Customs, and some rap artist wanted 22" wheels on his CLS500, but I remember hearing the guy at the shop saying that the biggest he can get for the CLS are 21's.
