22" wheels on the GLE63S

Can you run 22 " wheels on the 2017 GLES even though it comes with 21" ?

I want to have enough rubber on the road when you encounter potholes.

Thanks,

Al

Mine came with 22's with 285/40 and 325/35's on them. I think it rides a little rough.

I had 22's on my cayenne with out any issue, but with these, I had gone on my test drive which was great, but if your have any bad roads, you will feel this.

I drive 275/40 on my winter setup. Feels good so far. Much better than x6m on 22 that I had before

I don't have a GLE63 but I do have a 2017 GLE43. My truck came stock with 22" wheels and tires. My current tire set up is 285/40/22 in the front and 325/35/22 in the rear. I also lowerd the truck and to me on comfort mode it drives fine. Sport plus is a little rough but its pretty low on this setting. I also just recently change the wheels to keep my stock ones for the winter. Here are some pictures:

Yes you can run 22" wheels on the GLE63. You can even run 23" wheels! Here is one that we just did with 23's and looks great.

22" may be standard on GLE 63 S coupe. GLE 63 S SUV has 21 wheels standard.

Nice build. What did you use to lower, OBD or links? Also how wide are your rear rims? Currently running stock 22x10 285/40/22 & 22x11.5 305/30/22. The rims I'm interested in for rear are 22x12. That manufacturer says I can't go from 11.5 to 12 withought significant lowering. Thoughts?
