It would look good. do a search on OZ "canyon" a couple of member have 22's on. Personally I think the ML ride pretty hard already with my Stock 18 AMG wheels.

1999 Mercedes ML-430 Lorinser Edition
I have 22's and my M rides like a skateboard. However it does have the Lorinser suspension under it so that has a lot to do with the ride. I was told it was lowered something like 5".

2000 ML55 AMG Black on Black
Frankly, the ride is pretty rough with 22's and lowered suspension. Manhole covers and pot holes send a big shock throughout the truck. Initially I thought the poor ride was mostly attributable to the Bilstein shocks installed on my ML, but I've been driving on 18" snow tires lately and it's noticeably more comfortable.

And yes, you have to lower your ML with 22's, otherwise it looks ridiculous with all that fender gap and rubber band tires.
