I have no idea about keeping the same diamiter and wheels and all that... I'm pretty much just asking you guys the pros would staggered wheels 22x9 front 245/30/22 rear 22x10 295/25/22 ... They staggered came off of a Audi it's a friend that's giving them to me for a great price ... Don't know much more about the rims other then they are asianti wheels ... I know this maybe a dumb qeastion but Im looking for some help here...

Basically the rear wheels will be wider than the fronts. What you should make sure is if they fit. Lug measurement different from car to car, and there may be a chance that those will will not fit your ML350 properly or at all.

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

Just a thought.

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.

Al benzo

It is strictly for looks not for towing use he has a audi a8

Cool, well it will fit, do you know of the offset?

Personally, I think 22s are a bit overboard, especially for a truck, but I know lots who like that. Also, staggered fitment makes no sense with all wheel drive.

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.

Thanks guys its that I read all the post about the staggered wheels are good but need to have the same diamiter and all this other stuff that's why I just made it a blunt post ... Do they fit yes or no lol ... So they fit no issues ... No problems with the transfer case...

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.
