Moving from 21s to 22s

2021 GLS580 4matic- Moving from the factory staggered 21" wheel setup to staggered 22s. Looking for real world experience from those that have done this. I've sourced MO spec'd Yokohama Advan tires in the factory GLS63 sizes, 285/45/22 and 325/40/22....any concerns with the 4matic system when making this change? Appreciate any info-

Found a web site that shows the 22s are closer to having the same roll out than than 21s that came on the GLS. Very helpful page IMO.

tiresize.com

Still looking for any real world experience TIA

Warning on the oem yokohama v107 tires found on gls63. The tires are very expensive and you only get about 10k miles out of them.

They definitely weren't cheap....I'll tell the wife to keep her foot out of it :-)

I believe the overall 22 or 23 inch tire setup is about an inch and a half taller overall then the 19/20/21 setup (21 inch tires: 275/45/21 315/40/21, 22 inch 285/45/22 325/40/22 - same aspect ratio), so you might need to get your speedometer retuned.
