22x10's - Is 285/35/22 ET50 correct?
I'm looking at a set of new AMG Repo's on eBay and they are all listed as 22x10 all the way around with 285/35/22 as the tire size. The offset is ET50 as well.
The vendor claims it's a perfect fitment but everything I've found online and through these forums has various tire sizes.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Totally wrong.
Your speedo will be out, and the wheels will SIT IN more than your factory ones. [assuming you are currently running the factory 21s]
Our cars need +40 offset AT A MINIMUM- IMO. I did +35 on mine, and i think even that, i could have gone to +30 to beef it up a little more.
But as for tyre size, you need 295/30/22. That is the closest rolling diameter to the factory 21's. Its under 1% difference. So the speedo will be the same.

Thanks for the reply back. I checked the website you bought your wheels from and it looks like they only now sell your color rims in an +50 offset like eBay and they are out of stock.
But, they do have a similar wheel in Matte Black with a +35 offset for more money:

Yes, those are the same wheels, put painted black.
Correct they were +50 offset, but i used 15mm spacers. But not normal spacers, these ones where pressed into the wheel, so they are part of the rim.

I decided to do it right and picked up an almost new set of HRE TR45 wheels in Satin Black with Pirelli Scorpion tires.
I was orignally concerned the setup wouldn't be the correct size/fit/offset for an 08 ML63 versus what I've seen on a 2012+. I was assured by HRE and Wheels Boutique that they would be a flush/aggressive fit and Ben@WheelsBoutique knows his wheels. The setup only has 900 miles on it =).
The specs are: 22x10 on 295/30/22 and 22x12 on 335/30/22.
Wheels should arrive in a day or two and are already balanced with TPMS. I'm planning on painting the brake calipers as they look like someone took an aggressive cleaner to clean them and they factory paint/coating looks yellow and tarnished.
Thanks for the help!
