22s on a benz are not ideal but they look sooo good

Confort is still there but at high speeds there is vibration, since its only a 550 with ABC i use it for clients and shows. IF I was to travel then the stock wheels are ideal!
Enjoy!

I am running a 245/30/22 in the front, and 295/25/22 in the back.
Did you get the ABC option on your 550? I have the ABC and it rides better with a 22 than my buddies with a lowering chip on his 550 without ABC.
I found that at higher speeds (60+mph) I get vibration and the "shake" but I expected that going from a 19inch to a 22 on such a heavy car.
I also found that 22s are sometimes impossible to balance perfectly, so that affects ride quality a bit.
Did you include hub rings with your wheels? I added rings in the front and that helped vibration at higher speeds.
When traveling to San Diego, Las Vegas or San Francisco I swap the 22s and ride stock.
Cheers!
