Users With 21"+ Wheels On 4Matic
Hello,


I am looking for some opinions on 21+ wheels for the 4Matic. I have 18s on the car now and am seeing a lot of 21 and 22 wheels on our cars. What do you have on your 4Matic? How's the ride quality? What offset did you go with?

2013 S550 4matic (AMG sport package), 2016 Corvette Stingray.
Riding 20" AMG wheels, ride quality is excellent. No worries or catching heart attacks when driving over potholes.

Do you have 22 on a 4matic? What size tires did end up with?

If you stagger make sure the rolling diameters front to rear have no more than a 3% variance. Bobby, what are your front tire sizes?

Those do check out fine (.07% variance). Not everyone catches that when staggering a 4Matic and the potential problems to the AWD system don't crop up right away.

Interesting I was unaware that you could stagger the tires on a 4MATIC without any risk?

I've always heard your not supposed to stagger an AWD car as well. It could mess up the differentials.

The safest way is to fake stagger... get the 9.5 and 10.5 inch rim but put the same size tires all the way around.

no thats wrong, as long as the rolling diameter match within the spec, you are ok.
putting same size on different width wheels makes it worse, as it will stretch more on wider wheels, thus short rolling diameter than right size tire on the right wide wheel.
