you can do it, but ... why in the world would you like to do that?

besides questionable curb appeal (imo it looks ghetto) you will lose performance, handling, ride quality and mpg - especially when you fit those on a cdi.

I can be done, and it wouldn't look ghetto.

Think about it factory on GL550 is 21" so 22" wouldn't make a difference.

I have seen multiple GL with 22" it depends on the wheel you put on it.

But I agree with the MPG and if you are not used to 22" for a while it may feel weird.

I just traded in my 2008 GL 320 cdi today for a GL550 and end up keeping my 22 inch Brabus Monobloc wheels. It is perfect fit for the GL and tire size is 305/35/22 with Pirelli Scorpio P Zeros on them about 60% tread left. Let me know if you are interested. I have the Brabus wheel locks and the longer bolts for the wheels. TPMS included
