Was nervous to see how it would look but damn did it turn out awesome.
22' massiv wheels
Tinted windows, head and tail lights
HID kit (pics to come)
My 12 sls with new 22'' wheels
The ride is surprisingly the same for the most part I haven't yet experience a rougher ride but it is a little louder at highway speeds the the steering is still just as tight and everything. As far as acceleration I don't see a difference in it al all. I did notice a drop in mpg but that also could have been because if the hills in Pittsburgh I drove down there right after having them added.
Is it lowered as well, or is the overall diameter of the tyres larger? I was just looking at the photos and the height looks perfect.
Edit- what size tyres are you running? I just jumped on a tyre size comparison site and couldn't find anything close to right in 22" with 235-245 width. You'd need a super low profile like 20/25 series?
Okay, you'd need a tyre sidewall height of 55mm (going by my late night calculations ) 225/25 = 56.3 , 235/25= 58.8, 245/20= 49, 255/20= 51, 265/20= 53 . Nothing really matches too well unless there's a lot of space for extra width?

That's why it look lowered then! The sidewalls are 70.5mm - about 15mm bigger.
Don't know if this will work: http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Siz ... /235-30R22
(On the positive side, your speedo is probably almost spot on now.)
