I have 21's on my GLE 43. Fits well but I wish they were 10" instead of 9"

This is a W166? Its stock tires are a size smaller than those on the V167, so experience here may not translate. Best to post on the W166 forum.

I have the 20" (265/45-20) wheels on my 2018 GLE550e. Pretty rough ride on city streets. I would imagine that the 21" give a similar or worse ride (Unless you have the Airmatic suspension.)

^agree^

21" wheels on W166 with steel suspension will be a miserable ride.
