20"s are as big as you can go.

I guess I should have said that 20" are the biggest you should put on it. I guess they could put 28's on it if you want, it would just need to be raised up some. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. No offense to anyone who has them.

I agree, I think 20 is appropriate.

now that i see pics of 22s on a cls....it looks way to raised up etc. I will stick to the 20s. 22s on a s550 or a 7 series is a different story though.

That white one does look pretty decent with 21's but I still think 20 is best for the CLS. If you do 21's, the tires you have to get will be so low ride integrety would be compromized. Then there would be other problems. I spend a lot of time at wheel shps. I see people come back all the time with problems because they are trying to run stuff too big. Stretched tires leak air. No profile offers very little protection for the wheel against pavement, bumps, dips, curbs and RR tracks. It's expensive repairing wheels regularly. It just doesn't make sense to me. The car will look just as good with 20's. I don't get it. I guess I don't have to. It's your money. Do your thing.
