Thinking About My Wheels...

I have basically new 22" MHT Paragon Black wheels for my CL63 that I picked up at a deal that was too good to pass up. I got them about four or five months ago and they have literally sat in storage since then. Haha. I have gone back and forth on whether or not to put them on and am now thinking I should just throw them on and enjoy them. Looking for opinions and wondering if the 245/30/22 and 285/25/22 is the correct tire size to run? I will most likely lower the car as well. If you do not know the wheel, here is a picture.

What is the rim width? That is the only way anyone can recommend a proper tire size.

I am just worried the 295's will rub. I know the 285's fit and I currently have 275's, which are stock. The CL is great. It's classy and fast. What more could you ask for? Oh, and it has a comfortable back seat.

If you ask me the CL is a very good but boring car actually imho... no offense as I used 2 have both the S63 and CL63. Traded the cl for f430 and never looked back here is pics of my babies

I must be honest I dont have anything bad to say about it.
I liked it a lot actually if i think about it for the first 3 months. But if you already have another 63, in my case the S, you could probably tell that they are very similar in driving experience the S is just a little bit lighter where as the Cl is more driver oriented. For a daily driver its great, nothing bad to say, but its a lil boring to drive compare to lets say a porsche as I just test drove the pani turbo Moreover I had both cars interior in black and they are practically the same car only looks different from the outside I lost 60g after only 6000 miles in 11 months
