Hi Everyone,

I need some help here. I remember i read here somewhere someone had 305/40/22 on the GL and it fits and does not have any problem. Can someone verified this and confirm this fitment please.

I know 285/40/22 is the perfect fit but I'm afraid it might be a bit ruff on the ride and the last thing I want to hear from my wife is "Too rough"

Will 305/40/22 be ok and still look great without the 4x4 look?

Any comments and suggested will be great.

Thanks

Yep saw it in Vegas at a car show. They took off the airmatic and put a full suspension lift kit on it. Couldn't believe my eyes!!!

I have! 22 x 10 ET 65 with 15mm spacers = ET 50 with 305/40 22, minimal rubbing on one side, but i think this is due to an earlier accident i had with the car. But it all depends on your offset, it has to be ET 50 otherwise it will hit a part of the air suspension. Attached is a picture of the issue without the 15mm spacers.
Only issue is the massive weight of the brabus rims and the tires.

305/40/22's work fine. Make sure the offset is 50 or less. Mine rubbed very slightly for a few weeks on the back of the fender liner when I was turning slowly into and out of parking spots. It does not rub anymore.

The car handles so much better now with the 305's. Mileage is down a little bit but the 305/22's are less expensive and have higher treadwear ratings than the stock 19" tires. I have around 30,000 miles on mine and they should last another 30,000 miles before needing replacement.
