I know of some who have 22's and they don't complain of back pain. Personally, I think that's too much. Stay with 20's.

I just ordered a set of 22x10 OZ Canyon's for my 2002 ML320, and I'm running a 285/35/22 tire combination. I think 22's is the maximum, if you use 23's, you'll rub and fender rolling is neccessary. Stick to 22's if you want the "wow" factor and stick to 20's if you want the comfort factor.
