295/30-22
29.1 Tall (Same as OE tire... that's good)
Load Capacity 1929lbs (103W)
Sidewall 3.48"
285/35-22
29.8" Tall (Larger than OE, slightly bad. Affects speedo slightly)
Load Capacity 2094lbs. (106W)
Sidewall 3.92"
OK... Load Capacity (safety) the 285 wins. THe 295 is a bit wider and lower profile, looks nice. 285 fills the wheel well better (taller) BUT with lowering links the 295's will fill the wells too. And lastly ride comfort and SAFETY, like hitting an object in the road @ 85mph.
In your case, both would look nice.
BTW, Dunlop makes a 305/30-22 in an XL rated tire if the Rinspeed wheel is 11" wide... (but not a true SUV tire)
Ok

Something wrong with most of us who can't leave well enough alone!I would stick to 22's if you are going bigger- Keep the 21" stock for a winter set eh?
As far as going with the advice of keeping your stock 21 rims and not changing out at all - I can agree with this too. They look Hawt. Spend your money elsewhere, performance maybe, maybe going through with having your lower black accents sanded, primed and painted to match (personally they would drive me crazy not body colored)
BTW, your car is awesome!

Personally, I like the 23" and I know tires will cost more, but it is a 6 figure SUV...... I know we are all trying to save money here and there, but you didn't buy that thing to conserve gas or save the rain forest.
The only issue I see is if you can handle the ride, but beauty does usually come at a price.... at least that is what my gf tells me when we go shopping.
