What wheels to get for s class w221?

[Sam87]

May be a bit to blingy (prefer them not mirror polished) but these do suit the car.

I do like them but I think they'll look better on the w220 model? I feel like they're a bit old design for the w221 s class... in the first photo they look good but other pics I think a bit small. I guess I'm set on getting 21's

Just to double check... will this genuine 21" GL AMG wheels fit my s class or not?

Sam, just with respect to looking at wheels from (SUV/4x4) they may fit but they will be the same width all round, as in not staggered, which is what you need for the S class.
Even your original wheels will be different widths front and rear.

Thank you and honestly I apologise for the thousand questions.

Would I be able to fit for example 15mm spacers at the rear and 12mm at the front with the genuine gl amg wheels? Would they then fit in the S class and look like the one in the pics I've posted?

Thanks again

Too Fussy

I just want to make sure the wheels I get will fit, sorry if I've come across as a fussy person. I wish I could understand wheel fitment but I'm struggling.

Would this wheels fit my s class? They are not genuine.
Do I need 3mm spacers for the front wheels but the rears will fit straight on?

If you are not sure what size of wheels to fit you could always fit 20" fronts and 21" rears as I did on mine a decade ago.
We fit different widths front and rear and no law says that the rims should be the same diameter....
Sorry if I am adding to your choices!

Ops, sorry just saw this now.
I went for ML63AMG - GL63AMG 21's at the end.

Hello,
I went for 245/35/21 front and 265/36/21 for the rears.
I think the 245/35 is too narrow and as for the rears the 265/35 can work but it can catch if you lower the car too much.

I am about to change the tyres again and this time I have decided I will go for 255/35/21 front and 275/30/21 rears as i think the front tyres will not be stretched and as for the rears you can ho as wide as 285/30 but my car is lowered and I don't want the tyres to rub.
