2020 GLE350 wheel and tires suggestions

Hello guys. I have a 2020 GLE 350 with stock 20s. I want to install some bigger tires, as the current ones look small. Which size would fit perfectly without making so many adjustments? I was thinking about 21. Hopefully something not staggered, as the current ones are not staggered.

I appreciate all the suggestions
Thanks

Bigger wheels/tires

Now if you want bigger wheels, yes you could go with 21s. The factory 21s are staggered, and the wider rears do look good and beefy; this is the simplest solution. You likely would have a hard time finding these as take-offs, though. Alternatively, you could go with 21x9 or 10s & 275/45 F&R, but the trick will be getting the right offsets, since they are different front and rear and most aftermarket wheels do not have a wide variety of offsets. I would suggest consulting a wheel specialist.
