Modified ML350s

Ok guys I come from the BMW world where I always modify my cars. I just picked up a nice clean 2011 ML350 but I'd like to modify it slight to give a more aggressive look...basically get as close to the ML63 as possible.

Are there any pics of modified ML350's on this forum?

To be quite honest, I haven't really seen too many modded ML's. Mostly just tint, wheels and lights.

Honestly I'd be happy if I could put the 20" AMG wheels from the ML63 and quad-tip exhaust my my current ML350!

So ML63's tires are 295/40/20, while the ones I have now are 265/45/20....guess the ML63 wheels will stick out further, and the 40 v 45 aspect ratio means the ML63's will be a but taller?

Whether you run 19", 20", or 21" Mercedes/AMG wheels, if you have the OEM size of tire on them they will fit OK and the overall diameter will be very close to every other correct combination. The antilock sensors (and tire pressure monitor calculations, if appropriate) will work fine. The larger the wheel, the (slightly) more the tires will stick out. I have 21" AMG wheels for summer use and 20" aftermarket (OZ) wheels for winter. My 550 has the AMG body kit but it doesn't include fender flares.
