22" Wheels on W222

What size tires are you running with 22" rims?

255/30 and 295/25?

I have 245/30 22 fronts and 295/25 22 on the rear. With rotation and speedometer calculation everything stays equal to OEM.

85 views and one comment Tough crowd. A large majority of S class drivers are not really considering such a large wheel. But some do, GL to ya

Thumbs up

Maybe a few are still enjoying last few weeks of vacation. I’ve tried 20’s and didn’t like the fitment so went to 22’s. I get a rack of compliments. I only have them on for the summer then switch back to the 19’s for winter. If you get some share your pic of them.

If you're concerned about ride quality, I've seen one with 265/30 and 305/25. The tires did look a bit too beefy imo.

Here is the setup I was talking about. Doesn't look bad like I recalled.

I will be honest 22’s are too large for the S Class. The ride will be awful as well as handling and overall performance of the vehicle. Not speed wise only but just how the car drives.
Car will look great however. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Good luck and post some pics.

I am only 35 and I feel the S class rides too firm even on 20” wheels. I drive on them everyday and it’s tolerable, but it is simply not the ride I expected from this an S class (which is a main reason I bought one). Were I to buy another W222 I would make sure it has the 19” wheels.

I don't like 18's on an S class. 19's are the perfect balance for me...

First of all, my comment that “22’s are for wimps” was a joke, get it? That said, the photo of the W221 that I posted, along with these others here below, sort of SCREAM out to be made fun of, don’t you think?

Vossen have lots of S Class with 22" alloys on their website, they share the specs they went for as well I think. If you search "s class vossen 22" they'll come up

I think it really depends on your area and the roads. If I lived in Phoenix, the roads at least the highways are very smooth and I think 21-22 would be okay, but in the bay area and in LA the roads are not good and I am glad that I ended up with the AMG 19" wheels. I think 20's would have looked better but since I am still waiting to replace the run flats the car does ride very smooth with the 19's.

This is false. Pro athletes and hip hop artists who can afford these cars do the same "atrocities." The people who can only afford them after depreciation are copying the celebrities.

And I'd argue that 95% of the population can't afford new cars, even if it's just a $30k Honda, if that price range still exists. Not being able to afford a brand new car with zero miles isn't exclusive to Mercedes.

I've also seen people with plenty of money refuse to buy these cars new. Even they argue it's best to get the better deal on one that's 2-3 years old.
