You should also note the offset. If your offset is not correct for your application your wheels and tires will "stick out" from the body of your vehicle something like this...
And if it is not enough it will look like this...
However, that's if they even fit in the first place.
I have not looked up if they fit because you have not mentioned what model your friend has.
I am only 26 so I don't want to sound like a old "keep it standard guy" I like rims however...its your SUV and you do what you want to do.
Keep this in mind if you put rims that size on this car these things will happen...
- Lose braking effectiveness, take longer and harder to stop
- Reduce 4x4 effectiveness
- Lose proper and handling and control
- Drastically reduce mpg
- Engine has to work harder to turn wheels (unsprung weight)
- It will offset your speed at all times
- Harder on brake system, lugs, toe and knee bearings, and all other members
- Increase your ability to flip
- Off-road, snow, rain and ice capability
- Require you to change your brake pads faster
- Because the wheels will be bigger, they will slightly lean towards the vehicle making you have to change your tires more frequently because of inner wear
- Overall, your car will be slower

I would look for some nice 20s.
A good balance of look and handling. Also you could probably get some in the size (tall) range of our current setup.
I also wouldn't recommend towing with 22s. Tires that size are not made for heavy applications.
What kind of Audi does your friend have.

Offset is often stamped on the inside of the wheel. If they're already off his car, test fitting two is a good way to get a feel for the fit and looks.

A quick and easy way to figure out if the wheel will fit is to go "fake" shopping at an online wheel shop such as Tire Rack: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/index.jsp and compare the specs for the different sizes and vehicle models. I noticed that they sell 19, 20, and 22 inch rims for the 2012 ML350. They also provide recommendations for tire (size).
I hope this helps.
