Need Help with Wheels/Tires!

Hey folks,

I recently picked up a used ML550. Love the car, but it has the "all season" tires from continental and I'm looking for a bit more grip for winter. I came across a deal for some Wheels/tires from 2012 GL550 that is attractive. Problem is, I'm not sure of they'll fit! Sites like Tire-rack don't list this sizing, so I'm not sure how to check.

The wheel/tire set I'm looking @ are listed as 265/60 R18 11OR. Anyone know how or where I could verify that these would fit on my car?

GL/GLS size (i believe) for the stock or AMG rims is 21" or 22" so basically if you want to upgrade you have to get the rims to match the tires and this way you'll get the ride you desire

I have an ML550. The tires I’m looking to buy are from a gl550. I only really want them because they are snow tires with wheels to go with them. I’m more concerned they will fit Vs the look.

the 22" you want should fit, the only thing i would recommend is have them professionally installed, because you dont want further issues with the airmatic down the line. Also look at that other threads of those who've done it, could point you in the right direction

the rims I’m looking at in the first post are r18. With. 60mm sidewall. Not 22. Or am I misunderstanding. I’m not a car guy.
